More Than Ever

Héléne and Mathieu have been a couple for many years and lead a modest but happy life in Bordeaux - until Héléne is diagnosed with a rare, fatal lung disease. The 33-year-old is looking for answers to her last questions and comes across the site of a Norwegian blogger who goes by the name of "Mister" online. His very personal texts and his pictures of the beauty of Norwegian nature touch her so much that she travels to Norway without Matthieu to meet this blogger. For the first time in her life, Héléne brushes aside all reservations and follows only her feelings. She feels that in Norway and with Mister she can find the clarity she needs at this dark moment in her life. But Mathieu does not want to give up on Héléne so easily.
