"Belle Douleur" tells the story of Liz, whose mother has just passed away. Liz decides to sell her mother's antiques, and who comes to buy them? A young handsome fellow named Josh (Kit Thompson). The two embark in a rendezvous that involve visiting art galleries, taking shots, and going on motorcycle rides in the wee hours of the evening.
