Complicated love, Parisian style.

Louis Garrel stars as Abel, a dashing journalist whose girlfriend, Marianne (Laetitia Casta), informs him in the opening scene that she has fallen pregnant, and is leaving him to marry the father (who happens to be Abels best friend). So begins a tale that stretches over a number of years, filled with unexpected joys and heartbreaks.

Shifting points of view as nimbly as its players, this beguiling tale, co-written with the legendary Jean-Claude Carrire (Belle de jour, Cyrano de Bergerac), effortlessly navigates through the bric–brac of loves and secrets with a winning, New Wave-esque sensibility; Paris streets and cafes appear almost magically unchanged since Truffaut's 1960s.

It's Garrels carefully considered yet light touch that charms and captivates, leaving audiences feeling an enduring sense of satisfaction.
