Synopsis:

Love and life pose dilemmas for a handful of friends in the City of Lights in this romantic drama from French filmmaker Cedric Klapisch. Pierre (Romain Duris) has enjoyed a successful career as a dancer performing in Parisian nightclubs, but when he's diagnosed with a serious heart condition, his doctor warns him that the strain of his work could kill him. Pierre must reinvent his life, and as he ponders his future and his mortality, he turns to his sister, Ãlise (Juliette Binoche), a social worker and single mother, for help. Ãlise is facing some life changes of her own; she's tired of being alone, and has developed an infatuation with Jean (Albert Dupontel), a grocer who sells his wares in the city's open-air market. But Jean is recently divorced and is still preoccupied with his former wife, Caroline (Julie Ferrier). Pierre also finds himself falling from afar for a lovely college student named Laetitia (Melanie Laurent), but he has a rival for her affections in Roland (Fabrice Luchini), one of her professors, who is considerably older than her.

This is the story of a Parisian who is ill and who wonders whether he is going to die. His condition makes him look with new eyes at all the people he encounters. As he faces death, his life, the life of others and that of the whole city suddenly take on a new significance.
Market gardeners, a baker, a social worker, a dancer, an architect, a homeless person, a university professor, a model and a Cameroonian illegal worker...All these people, whose lives are very far apart, are brought together in this city and this film.
You may think that they are nothing extraordinary but, for each one of them, their life is unique. You may think that their problems are insignificant, but for them, theyre the most important problems in the world.

When Pierre finds out that he has a heart condition and can no longer work as a dancer, he turns to his sister Elise for support. Both siblings intersect with a multitude of other characters as the story unfolds through the city of Paris.
