UN SIGNE is a bitter-sweet rom-com whose progress is paradoxically familiar and surprising. Everyone can identify with the young woman and has known a similar story, yet no one knows how this romance will end.

An unnamed young woman walks in the streets of Montréal, all set up for Christmas. This day is special to her as it is the anniversary of the publication of her favorite book. So, to her, it is nothing but a sign when she happens to cross the path of an attractive young man. She finds a way to talk to him, and as she gets to know him, she confirms her first impression. Finding the most absurd connections between the young man and herself, she establishes that all the signs point toward a definitive conclusion: he is the man of her life
