Spring, 1958. Rose, 21, moves from the Normandy village where she grew up to Lisieux, where she starts working as a secretary in an insurance firm. Though she is a terrible secretary, she can type at breakneck speed, so her handsome boss Louis tells her to compete in a speed typing contest. Rose begins to fall for Louis, but it turns out that the love of the "sport" of speed typing doesn’t mix easily with love itself.
