Synopsis: In the hope of sparking their stalled relationship, Ismael and Julie enter a playful yet emotionally laced threesome with Alice . When tragedy strikes, these young Parisians are forced to deal with the fragility of life and love. For Ismael, this means contemplating the possibility of love with a young college student named Erwann.
“Boy loves girl and sings about it, boy loses girl to tragedy and sings about it, then boy considers the possibility of new love with a new boy and sings about it – and the whole thing works, in a delirious French way.”
–Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
“f you love really French films, you'll likely adore Christophe Honore's pop-musical follow-up to Dans Paris.”
–Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
“A joy ... profound and affecting ... A tribute to the playfulness of the French New Wave.”
–Sean Axmaker, Seattle Poat-Intelligencer
