You may have missed the MiniFest due to the horrible wind that raged that day, so we are pleased to have this chance to offer you another opportunity to watch this uplifting romantic comedy. Needless to say, it is a unique film that we really love. After setting recent films in New York City and Burgundy, Cédric Klapisch reunites with his beloved city of Paris in this singular romance that ends where romantic comedies usually begin. In the tender and deliberately optimistic *Someone, Somewhere*, Klapisch follows his two main characters on their parallel paths to self-discovery, until they are ready to finally meet. Klapisch creates a moving and funny portrait of two young people who are both struggling with themselves and with human relationships in today's Paris.
