Synopsis
Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due
Amin returns to Sète after studying in Paris, still dreaming of cinema. By chance, an American producer on vacation takes an interest in his project and wants his wife, Jess, to play the lead role. But fate, whimsical as ever, has its own rules.
What We Wanted to Be
An impossible love story that begins outside a movie theater, continues in a café and could end with the two protagonists together… if real life wasn’t much more complicated than the movies. United by their love of cinema, these two main characters decide to live the lives they dreamed of and not the lives they are destined to live. In a series of encounters, imagination triumphs over reality and everyday reality takes a back seat.
