A true story full of romance that’s neither boring nor shallow. A film that shows the true nature of love between two young people who decide to get married despite enormous obstacles and pain.

Through music, Jeremy meets the beautiful Melissa at a concert. They hit it off, but Melissa doesn’t want to hurt her friend Jean-Luc, who is also in love with her. That’s why she initially rejects Jeremy.

Later, their courtship and getting to know each other seems a bit absurd. Around Christmas, Jeremy learns that Melissa has been hospitalized with a serious illness. Despite the fact that she is facing death or that they may not be able to have children together, he decides to marry her and start a family with her.

At his concerts, he calls on people to pray for Melissa. She makes a miraculous recovery and doesn’t even have to undergo the planned surgery.

They are both happy, and it seems that nothing stands in the way of a wonderful life together without any major obstacles. Over time, however, it becomes clear that things are quite different.
