Adapted from David Foenkinos' multi-award winning novel, with over 700,000 copies sold, Delicacy, released on DVD on 6th August 2012 from StudioCanal, is a charming, refreshingly unpredictable romance that darts between heartbreak and humour as it explores loss, love and rebirth.

Nathalie (Audrey Tautou: Amélie, The Da Vinci Code) has a wonderful life. She is young, beautiful and has a deeply passionate marriage with Francois. But when her husband tragically dies in an accident, it brings her world crashing down. Picking up the pieces she throws herself completely into her work and limits her emotional life to fending off the unwanted attentions of her boss.

A few years pass before a sudden attraction shakes her from her melancholy with a spontaneous and unexpected kiss with her co-worker Markus (François Damien: Heartbreaker), a hulking gap-toothed swede big on heart, but small on social skills who her friends soon make plain is more than a little 'below her league'.

The two then embark upon their own journey of recovery, as it begins to become apparent it's not other's perceptions so much as their own self doubt that threatens to split this seemingly mismatched pairing apart.
