Twenty-one of the most prominent filmmakers at work today were asked to paint their own portraits of their chosen arrondissements of the City of Light—portraits as diverse as their creators’ backgrounds and nationalities. Racial tensions stand next to paranoid visions of the city seen from the perspective of an American tourist.
A young foreign worker moves from her own domestic situation into her employer’s bourgeois environs. An American starlet finds escape as she is shooting a movie. A man is torn between his wife and his lover. A young man working in a print shop sees and desires another young man. A father grapples with his complex relationship with his daughter. A couple tries to add spice to their sex life. As they say, everyone has a story. A superb host of actors grace this affectionate love letter to a city that remains one of the jewels of the world. Producer Claudie Ossard will attend this screening
