Montparnasse

Montparnasse · 2009

One night, three young women, the neon lights of the boulevards, empty streets, a mall, quiet gardens, the tower plaza, the esplanade of the station, a farewell coffee, a camera, a concert, a terrace, then the city waking up, Montparnasse.

Amanda

David, who gets by doing odd jobs, meets Léna, who has just moved up to Paris, and falls in love. But soon after, his life is brutally interrupted by the sudden death of his sister. Beyond the shock, and the pain, David now finds himself alone with his young niece Amanda to care for.

Village in the Snow

Village in the Snow · 2008

Village in the Snow

Two park benches, chewing-gum, a student waiting for her exam results, a strange young man who hangs around the park walkways, another who is bored. And a lot of sunshine. We are in a little southern French town at the end of June. Beads of sweat dot skin, skirts are shorter. The afternoon has only just begun.

Memory Lane

Memory Lane · 2010

August in Paris' suburbs, seven friends are gathered to spend a week in the city where they grew up. The city is empty and the days pass by under a deep blue sky. Each of them has a reason to be there: some still live there, some come back to see their family, some are searching their childhood, some want to escape boredom or eventually searching for love. They are all bearing the fact that these moments they are sharing are maybe the last ones.

Primrose Hill

Primrose Hill · 2007

On Christmas Eve, a West suburb of Paris. Stéphane, Joëlle, Xavier and Sonia (25 years old) decide to take a stroll down the big park overhanging the city of their youth, musing on pop music, their work, sex and their disappointed ambitions.

This Summer Feeling

This Summer Feeling · 2015

This Summer Feeling

In high summer, Sasha suddenly dies. Her death brings two virtual strangers, her boyfriend Lawrence and sister Zoé, closer together, sharing their grief and the burden of their loss in Berlin, Paris and New York.

La leçon de guitare

La leçon de guitare · 2006

La leçon de guitare

A man with nothing to do all day decides to take guitar lessons. He falls for his music teacher’s flatmate who flirts with him slightly and even has the same name as the Serge Gainsbourg chanson he’s struggling to learn “Laetitia”. Not so much a passionate love story as a finely woven, laconic film about what it’s like to be just that little bit in love.

Charell

Charell · 2006

Near the Bois de Boulogne, Daniel meets Charell by accident. The two men haven't seen each other in twenty years.
