Boy Meets Girl

In the neon‑lit night of Paris, a city that seems to pulse with restless energy, a young man named Alex roams its streets, half‑heartedly chasing the dream of becoming a filmmaker. Recently abandoned by his girlfriend Florence, who has left him for his close friend Thomas, Alex finds himself suspended between the lingering echo of past intimacy and the looming certainty of an impending military service. The summer heat wave adds a languid, almost oppressive atmosphere to his wandering, turning the capital into a maze of flickering streetlights, smoky cafés, and the distant hum of late‑night traffic.

Amid this urban reverie, Alex encounters Mireille, a woman who has also been left adrift by the city’s promises. Like him, she moves through the night searching for a foothold—her own aspirations of acting or modeling have yet to materialize, and the anonymity of Paris feels both comforting and isolating. Their chance meeting at a gathering of strangers becomes a quiet point of connection, hinting at the possibility of shared solace without offering any clear resolution.

The film unfolds as a portrait of two wounded souls navigating a landscape where desire, disappointment, and artistic yearning intersect. Its tone is intimate and moody, blending the soft glow of streetlamps with an undercurrent of unease that suggests more than simple heartbreak. Through whispered conversations, lingering glances, and the city’s nocturnal rhythm, the story invites viewers to contemplate the fragile ties that bind people together in moments of vulnerability, all while the backdrop of Paris itself serves as a luminous, ever‑watchful character.
