Stéphane Miroux returns to Paris to work in a printing firm that makes calendars. His vivid dreams are a compensation for the dull life he leads. Before his cardboard cameras, he invents a television program about dreams.

One day, he meets Stéphanie, his neighbor, and falls in love with her. Initially charmed by this astonishing young man's strange behavior, she then gets scared, and rejects him. Awkward at the art of seduction, Stéphane decides to find the solution to his problem in the realm where imagination is king.

There will be English subtitles, and entry is by invitations only, available at the Alliance Francaise office at West Marredpally. Please contact 2770-0734/2770-0736 for further details.
