Marguerite is a brilliant young mathematician who’s devoted to finding a solution to Goldbach’s Conjecture, one of the oldest problems in number theory. But the day she reveals her finished thesis, a competing student finds an error in her calculations.
Devastated, Marguerite impulsively quits university to erase all evidence of her studies as she wades blindly into the real world. As she struggles with the usual social codes of human behaviour, Marguerite is befriended by her new roommate, who guides her. And it’s through her adjusted attitude to life that Marguerite sees her thesis from a new perspective.
But, without her scholarship funding, Marguerite needs to find a new source of income to be able to finish her thesis.
Ella Rumpf is remarkable as she draws us in to her quest. A film full of humour, not to be missed. – IMDB
