The life of a misguided and intensely focused man, chronicled through his oral obsessions.

　　Astronomer Bill Whitley is so preoccupied with the new comet he's discovered that his time at the observatory sometimes comes at the expense of his beautiful wife, Vicky. When the neglected spouse becomes influenced by an eccentric neighbor into believing in the power of astrology, she subscribes to a weekly horoscope from a phony seer, the appropriately named Margaret Sybill. When the beautiful Mrs. Whitley reads that a new dream man will be coming soon into her life, she assumes he's taken the form of Lloyd Hunter, a handsome and dashing foreign correspondent who doubles as the neighborhood air raid warden. A frantic Bill realizes that he's going to have to keep closer track of his earthbound heavenly body if he's going to keep the prediction from becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

　　一晃眼，尼克（吉姆·布勞德本特 Jim Broadbent 飾）和梅格（琳賽·鄧肯 Lindsay Duncan 飾）已經(jīng)攜手共同走過(guò)了數(shù)十年的婚姻生活，兩人是彼此最熟悉的親人和最親密的朋友。充滿了紀(jì)念意義的結(jié)婚紀(jì)念日即將到來(lái)，兩人決定前往巴黎，曾經(jīng)，他們?cè)谀抢锒冗^(guò)了充滿了濃情蜜意的蜜月，希望這次故地重游能夠喚回兩人內(nèi)心里漸漸熄滅的激情和回憶。
　　然而，現(xiàn)實(shí)是殘酷的。漫長(zhǎng)的婚姻生活雖然將尼克和梅格緊緊的聯(lián)系在一起，卻也同時(shí)消磨了他們對(duì)于彼此的耐心和容忍，一路上，兩人產(chǎn)生了大大小小的矛盾，氣氛一度十分尷尬。一位老朋友的出現(xiàn)讓尼克和梅格決定嘗試著重新愛(ài)上對(duì)方，當(dāng)他們懷抱著積極的態(tài)度來(lái)看待兩人之間的感情時(shí)，一切似乎都開(kāi)始朝著好的方向發(fā)展。

　　書店的女主人同時(shí)也是劫富濟(jì)貧的大盜，在一次劫案后，案發(fā)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)卻留下一具尸體，所有證據(jù)都指向她，迫使她不得不再展現(xiàn)大盜的絕技，逼真兇現(xiàn)形，她能成功嗎？
