The love story we all wish we had...
Richly filmed in black and white in the eye-pleasing locales of Los Angeles and Italy, three twenty-somethings come together in an unusual, beautiful tryst, that sparks with the restless energy and exuberance of the French New Wave. Each member of the threesome is in transition: fun-loving Marcello, from under the thumb of his Italian soap star father, soulful French-Iranian actor, Nassim, toward a more fulfilling career, and artist, Christine ,through the grief accompanying the death of her grandfather. The frolicsome trio finds joy, release, and freedom together—exploring their sexuality, making art, and falling deeper into their unconventional amour—until Marcello must return to Italy and their experience there threatens the delicate balance of their relationship.

Want to go "BEYOND THE FILM" with us? Here's some questions to spark a conversation:
1) Svetlana Cvetko's innovative cinematography, directoral experimentation, and use of narration are all joyful nods to the films of the French New Wave (most notably, Truffaut's Jules et Jim). What do we think Cvetko is trying to say regarding our modern ideas and taboos surrounding love, sex, and freedom through this lens of La Nouvelle Vague?
2) How does Cvetko's use of locale and physical environments help guide the emotional response to her protagonists?
