Private Fears in Public Places
“For six strangers in search of love, the City of Lights can be a very lonely place.”
Seven lonely lives in Paris: a middle-aged estate agent who believes a colleague is sending messages in video tapes she loans him; his co-worker whose Bible is close at hand in times of stress; her late-night charge, an angry, nasty bedridden old man; his son, a patient bartender; the bartender's best patron, an ex-soldier who's lost his moorings while his fiancée looks for a large flat for them; and, the estate agent's much younger sister, who answers personals and waits in cafés with a red flower pinned on her jacket. Will any connect? Can open hearts trump fears?
A quiet, observational look at the everyday struggles and fleeting moments of connection in a bustling city. It feels like eavesdropping on intimate conversations, capturing the bittersweet ache of searching for love amidst urban anonymity.
