J'attends quelqu'un



Jérôme Bonnell : 2007
Waiting for Someone

Louis is a divorced café proprietor living in a town in Ile de France. He flirts with every woman he bumps into, but doesn't develop any deeper relationship with them, except a growing affection for Sabine, the prostitute he sees regularly at a local hotel. His sister Agnès is a teacher, and is apparently happily married to Jean-Philippe, but he works very hard and doesn't seem to have been giving her all the affection she needs recently. She bumps into Stéphane, a young man recently returned to the town whom she knew as a child. He is obsessively interested in a young family who live nearby. The three story-lines running in parallel observe and gradually explore the hidden feelings and desires of each of these characters. Will any of them find happiness?
