Chinese Puzzle

Following on from "The Spanish Apartment" and "Russian Dolls", Romain Duris reprises his role as writer Xavier Rousseau. Having reached the age of 40, Xavier's life is in a downward spiral. He breaks up with his wife Wendy (Kelly Reilly), who moves to New York, along with their two children, to live with her new partner. Desperate to be near his kids, Xavier also heads for the city and stays in a friend's apartment in Chinatown. When his visa runs out he weds Chinese-American Nancy in order to become a permanent resident.
