Synopsis:

Antoine is a joyful but disenchanted photographer. His only true friend, Mateo, is 7 years old and the son of his neighbor, who is often absent. One day, he hears a piano sonata coming from the building across the courtyard. Mesmerized by the music, he becomes obsessed by Elena, the beautiful but mysterious pianist, and starts to photograph her at every opportunity. An intense relationship develops between fragile and idealistic Elena and Antoine, who is transformed by this encounter.

Une place sur la Terre (a.k.a. A Place on Earth) is a compelling and poignant étude romantique that is far more about the need for companionship than the fulfilment of an earthy amorous desire - a love story of an altogether different hue from what most of today's cinemagoers are used to. Boldly understated, both in its writing and direction, it focuses more on the deeper feelings of love, the process of establishing an emotional bond with someone, rather than diving in and merely regailing us with the crude mechanics of romantic passion.
