Another 20 times about love. This was the task that each of the 20 directors of this project faced — to tell a love story in five minutes against the backdrop of one of the Parisian quarters.
And each with his microfilm confessed his love for Paris. Apparently, hence the tenderness and touchingness in the picture — from the personal attitude of the authors to the subject.
Parisian multiculturalism. This film was made by the French, Americans, Brazilians, Germans, Briton of Indian origin, Catalan, Japanese, Canadian … Who used to make films of different genres — from horror and fantasy to psychodrama and animation. And now the palette turned out to be rich — stories about Parisians of different nationalities, social strata, generations … As the classic Jacques Rivette called his film back in the 60s, «Paris belongs to us.» To us all.
