Reclusive artist Thomas, lives in a small town, preferring books to people. He’s quiet and academic, shuffling about in shabby clothes, avoiding TV and preferring operas. He’s too hurt for love since his ex-boyfriend disappeared. His paintings aren’t selling and he needs money.

Flashy reality TV star Christophe, lives in London, his social life is a whirl. Chatty and extroverted, he hates silence, parades around in designer labels and binges reality TV, he hasn’t read a book since dropping out of school.

Stuck for a festive gift, Christophe decides his auntie would love a painting of him. Not knowing who Christophe is, Thomas accepts the commission.

This is an opposites-attract, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, festive rom-com. It features two damaged men, who find what they need to complete them, in the person they at first can’t stand the sight of.
