Written/Directed by Cedric Klapisch

Chloe, a shy, young Parisian woman, shares a flat with her friend Michel, a gay man. When Chloe takes a short vacation from her job as a make-up artist at a modeling agency, she leaves her cat Gris-Gris with Mme. Renee, a neighborhood cat lover. However, when Chloe returns, her beloved Gris-Gris is gone; what ensues is a search of the neighborhood - everyone gets involved!

We are treated to a picturesque tour of this ancient Parisian neighborhood, and we meet many interesting characters along the way. This is a charming, whimsical, light movie -- in her search for her cat, Chloe moves from lonely isolation to connection as she is taken into the arms of her community. This film has healing qualities; it's like a warm bath for the bruised spirit.
