Parallel Stories

Writer Sylvie watches her neighbors across the street and gradually turns their lives into material for her new novel. But one day, the story she has invented begins to unexpectedly intertwine with reality — and the line between what really happened and what was imagined grows increasingly blurred.

A new French film by two-time Academy Award winner Asghar Farhadi, starring Isabelle Huppert, Vincent Cassel, Virginie Efira, and Catherine Deneuve. Inspired by Krzysztof Kieślowski’s "A Short Film About Love", the film explores one of Farhadi’s recurring questions: how much can we really trust our own perspective on someone else’s life?

We know and love Iranian director Farhadi for "A Separation" — an absolute must-see.
