The French title of The Sense of Wonder, a romantic comedy set in Provence, can be translated literally as “Le sens des merveilles”. “Merveilles” not only means “wonders” in French but also refers to a donut-like pastry in South of France made by widow Louise. She struggles to raise two kids on her own and keep her late husband’s orchards. One day, she accidentally hits a stranger named Pierre with her car. She takes him home and takes care of him. Pierre is different from anyone she ever meets. Pierre’s Asperger’s Syndrome, his brilliant eccentricities, brings laughter and warmth to Louise’s household. However, Louise wants to keep Pierre away from her worst enough life. Can Pierre’s wonder heal her broken heart?

發生在普羅旺斯的浪漫喜劇,法語片名可直譯為「法式甜甜圈的滋味」。在法語裡,merveilles除了指「奇蹟」,也代表南法甜甜圈,是女主角烘焙的糕點。寡婦Louise獨力撫養兩幼兒,辛苦支撐死去丈夫的果園。一天她開車撞到Pierre,擔心他的安危,堅持帶他回家。Pierre的亞斯伯格症,他的天真直率、他的聰明古怪,讓Louise一家重展笑顏,感受生命溫暖美好的滋味。
