In the new film, grossing star plays naturally with the French comedy actor – Loïc Corbery.
Clement, a young Parisian philosophy professor is transferred to Arras for one year on a teaching position. Far from Paris and its nightlife, he does not know what to do with his free time. By chance, he enters a local hair salon and meets Jennifer, a young and pretty hairdresser.
As the two begin to spend more time together, it becomes clear that they lead very different lifestyles- Clement’s life revolves around Kant’s and Proust’s theories, while Jennifer’s is punctuated by Pop Culture magazines, American music, and Harlequin romance novels. Despite their contrasting lifestyles, Clement and Jennifer start a beautiful romantic relationship causing them to step out of their individual comfort zones . . . but will it be enough to bridge the social and cultural gap between them?
