Overview
Because she picked the wrong door, Anna ends up confessing her marriage problems to a financial adviser named William Faber.

From appointment to appointment, a strange ritual is created between them. William is moved and fascinated to hear the secrets no man ever heard.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedDirected by Patrice Leconte, this 2004 French drama begins with a mistaken door: a woman pours out her marital troubles to a tax adviser she takes for a psychiatrist, and he lacks the nerve to correct her. From that misunderstanding grows a delicate ritual of confession and fascination between two strangers. Quiet, talky and emotionally precise, the film explores intimacy, longing and the strange comfort of telling secrets to someone who shouldn't hear them. With a MagicMovieScore of 6.3, it appeals to viewers who favor subtle European character dramas and slow-burning romances built on conversation rather than spectacle.
