SPOILER : Adam looks towards Fiona in order to give him a new life purpose in exchange for the one that she took from him. A transcending experience to replace religious transcedense. He seems to have found it in the music and poetry that they shared for a moment, and he wants to keep her in his life to nurture those things in him. But not only is it unthinkable for Fiona to reach out to this boy for obvious professional reasons, Fiona is experiencing an existensial crisis of her own.

It didn't greatly capture my attention as much as I hoped it would, but Emma Thompson's performance is so exquisite it almost makes up for the screenplay's flaws. The story is original, but the writing leaves much to be desired.

Way more character- than story-focused, which is fine by me. I'm not sure how much I'm actually left with but it's impossible not to love Thompson and Tucci, and this film is an enjoyable exploration of a fragment of their characters' lives.
