Someone, Somewhere

Rémy and Mélanie are neighbors in a sunlit corner of Paris, living parallel lives without ever crossing paths. They spend evenings scrolling through dating profiles, hoping for a spark that never lands. The two adults drift into a shared emptiness, each convinced that meaningful ties must be found online or through a counselor. They decide to seek help in regular therapy, hoping to untangle what keeps them apart. They start to uncover softer truths beneath their loneliest habits. As their stories unfold, they discover that the real link they crave has been right next door all along. They gradually realize that listening to another person can unlock a kind of companionship that therapy itself often points toward. Toward shared futures.

Directed by Cédric Klapisch with a screenplay by Santiago Amigorena, the film reimagines a modern Paris romance with wit and warmth. It arrived in 2019 with a distinctly intimate French sensibility, anchored by natural performances and a soft humor throughout.

Fans of contemporary French cinema may cite its approachable look at modern dating and therapy as a gentle contrast to heavier dramas. The film balances humor and sensitivity as it follows two neighbors who finally acknowledge a bond that quietly reshapes their lives. Its warmth lingers even after the credits.

Audiences and critics greeted the film as a tender look at missed connections and the quiet work of therapy. Performances by François Civil and Ana Girardot anchor a story about loneliness, the pull of online life, and how real empathy can bloom near home, remaining truly hopeful for hopeful futures.
