Avenue Montaigne

Jean-François Lefort (Albert Dupontel) is a pianist who is tired of the concert circuit and wants to play just for his love of music. Catherine (Valérie Lemercier) has had enough of her role in a weekly soap and yearns for a meaningful role. Jacques (Claude Brasseur) who has spent every waking moment collecting art, has decided to sell his entire collection as he has no desire to play his last inning as a museum guard. Jessica (Cécile De France) is a waitress who serves these collage of characters their drinks. A noisy, conversation filled film that has a magical calming effect that one feels when sinking into a book where you love all the characters.
