Storyline
Frances Price is a 60-year-old penniless Manhattan socialite. She plans to die before the money ran out, but things didn’t go as planned. Her husband Franklin has been dead for 12 years and with his vast inheritance gone, she cashes in the last of her possessions and resolves to live out her twilight days anonymously in a borrowed apartment in Paris, accompanied by her directionless son Malcolm and a cat named who may or may not embody the spirit of Frances’s dead husband.

“The author of a book pretty much gives up control of the story when the producers take over a book to make it into a movie.”
