Sisters Léa and Aurélie, 19 and 13, live in Paris with their mom. They miss their dad, who drowned. Their mom has a new man, Vincent, a cop. The girls are angry, stealing wallets from gymnasium locker rooms and running a con on men Aurélie invites to an empty gym (Léa bursts in, law book in hand, quoting the penal code on statutory rape). Aurélie befriends a runaway, Anne-Sophie, 19, who tells them her dad, who's abandoned her, lives across the street; Léa reluctantly takes her in and designs a series of vengeful pranks that disrupt his life. Things get worse when a victim of their scam has a heart attack. All roads lead back to their dad's death. Can healing happen?

the loneliness of a doctor
How do people win loneliness? A doctor can be a good help, especially if you live in a French small town. And when the doctor is an incurable idealist, everything is easier. His diagnoses are worth their weight in gold and things can begin to change slowly. The loser is probably the same doctor who cannot find peace for his heart

Princes et princesses (1999)
Directed by: Michel Ocelot 
Writing credits: Michel Ocelot 


Genre: Animation / Family 

User Comments: Six beautifully animated classic stories.

This unusual animated movie is a children's movie for adults. Six short, beautifully animated, stories. Traditional fairy tales with princes, princesses, monsters and witches. Each story different, but in the same spirit. The animation technique is like nothing you've ever seen before. It's a gem of a movie, and I recommend it to anyone tired of standard Hollywood movies.

Genre: Comedy / Romance

Albert (Denis Podalydès), a somewhat slightly aging sound engineer is kind of entrapped in three romantic liaisons. In the province he meets a nurse, back in Paris a young policewoman and at last an attractive director who had just finished a documentary. All three women seem to succumb to Albert's charm. But this is a little bit too much for him. So his permanent absent-mindedness is greatly enhanced...
