Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due
After graduating from a university in Paris, Amin returns to Sète with a still vibrant passion for cinema. In September of 1994, he has a chance encounter with an American film producer on holiday. Quite unexpectedly, the man develops an interest in a script written by Amin. The producer suggests that his young wife Jess could play the main character in the film. As usual, fate follows its own twisted logic and offers a different turn of events.
