À la joie (2023)

Véra makes a quick trip to Paris to feed a friend’s fish while she’s hospitalized with a mild case of Covid. But instead of hopping on a train back to Montpellier where her fiancé is waiting, she holes up in her friend’s apartment, meets a guy named Sam, and begins an affair with him.

Three story-lines run in parallel in a town in Ile de France. Louis, a divorced café proprietor, 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 offspring. He is obsessively interested in a young family who live nearby. The film gradually explores the hidden feelings and desires of each of the main characters. Will any of them find happiness?
