Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth

In 19th century Paris, Claude Claudel and his grandfather Oscar operate a small metalworking shop hidden in the Galerie du Roy shopping arcade. When Oscar returns from his travels, he brings along a young Japanese girl named Yune. Though Claude objects at first, he eventually agrees to Oscar's decision that Yune will stay and work with them. Unfamiliar with Yune's customs, Claude struggles to adjust while keeping the shop running. But as she grows into her role as their live-in maid, Claude gradually begins to take an interest in understanding her-and the distant world she left behind.
