The Apartment

France 1996 | 116 minutes | French | Hebrew subtitles

Max, a young and innocent-looking businessman, is about to say goodbye to his fiancee before going on a business trip to Tokyo when he hears the voice of the desirable Lisa, whom he hasn't seen in years. He decides to stay in the city and look for his old love, and as part of his search, he arrives at a magical Parisian apartment where Jane sits, as lovesick as him. Jane tries to convince him that her name is Lisa, but in fact, it is a young woman from Montmartre who has been in love with Max for years. And so things become entangled - everyone is in love, everyone loves to love, everyone loves Paris. In his first feature film, Gilles Mimouni presents a fresh, stylish, and innovative look at age-old themes: love and Paris.
