Je t'aime, filme-moi ! poster
NR

This film is a tribute to love, a tribute to cinema. Our two main characters take us with them into the intimacy of "real people". We cross the roads of France with them, in their different vans and pick-up trucks transformed for the occasion into mini movie studios. Their concept: to film "declarations of love" and to deliver them directly by van to their recipients. And we discover, as we go along, that our duo and their own personal adventures are subtly intertwined with the people they film. This mix of genres offers several universes to the spectator in order to make him question himself about love.

Capucine "Capu" Choquet, 35-year-old single woman, connected and uninhibited. AirPods firmly in her ears, Capucine is on the phone. Wherever she is, she's sharing one of her conversations with a girlfriend, friend or relative. Cut off from the outside world, in her own bubble, Capu talks loudly, about everything, without taking into account those around her. In fact, she's the first to be surprised by people's insistent stares, as they unwillingly take advantage of what she's saying. The frankness, extravagance or freshness of her words always end up surprising, shocking, interloquer or making those she meets smile. And even when she realizes it, it doesn't stop her from doing it again on the next phone call.
