Thierry Frémaux

Throughout the 19th century, imaginative and visionary artists and inventors brought about the advent of a new look, absolutely modern and truly cinematographic, long before the revolutionary invention of the Lumière brothers and the arrival of December 28, 1895, the historic day on which the first cinema performance took place.

Actors Anne Dorval, Suzanne Clément, Monia Chokri, Gaspard Ulliel, Vincent Cassel, Niels Schneider and Melvil Poupaud discuss working with the young Canadian director Xavier Dolan, who has conquered the hearts of both cinema lovers and prestigious festival juries with his films.

Anne se encuentra en una encrucijada en su vida. Casada con un exitoso productor de cine, un día se encuentra de forma inesperada viajando en coche desde Cannes a París con un socio de negocios de su marido. Lo que debería ser un viaje de siete horas se convierte en una aventura de dos días repleta de diversión llena de lugares pintorescos, buena comida y mejor vino, mucho humor, sabiduría y romance, despertando los sentidos de Anne y dándole un nuevo deseo a su vida.
