MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Paris
While waiting for a heart transplant that could save his life, Pierre has his world invaded by his sister Elise and her three children. The growing awareness of his impending mortality, as well as the re-discovery of his sister and her life, gives Pierre a very different sense of how he might spend the time still left to him. Meanwhile, a respected professor, Roland Verneuil, hopes for one more great romance in his life, while Jean, a vendor at an open-air market, wonders what life is left for him now that he's split from his wife-even though they continue to work together each day.

Perhaps it's time for a moratorium on movies where the trajectories of various people intersect, often portentously, across the tableau of a big city. Michael Winterbottom did it with wrenching effectiveness 10 years ago in Wonderland (the city: London). Paul Haggis' Crash connected the dots, and the racism, of Los Angeles. There have been many others, with the lives of strangers and friends, rich and poor, happy and sad, colliding on the streets. And now there is Paris.
