A love story between two ghosts that everything opposes: deadly!
He has been dead for 118 years and haunts the stairs of an old Parisian building in his own romantic, old-fashioned way. She is a girl of her time, impertinent and elusive, who has just passed away. He is from yesterday, she is from today—he is pining and dying for love. All the more so as, hustled by the twirling ghostly girl, he is always one metro behind her... Will he finally manage to declare his laziness to her?
