Louise is a middle-aged woman with a successful career at her marketing agency in New York. On the verge of a stress breakdown, her doctor advises her to take a month holiday in a thermal spa- isolated from her duties. She travels to a small village in France where she meets Madame-Sur-Seine. Madame used to be a famous Cabaret dancer who lived in Paris in the glorious years. Louise is immediately fond of her, and thinks she can help her with her personal affairs—especially her relationships with men. What begins as a daily tea-time meeting chat becomes a training program on pleasure, self-love, and freedom. Louise turns into a sexy and appealing woman—like she has never felt before. Eager to thank the secretive Cabaret dancer on her way back to N.Y., she doesn’t understand why no one answers the door when she knocks at it. She returns to her agency, but she cannot forget Madame. The way she can show her gratitude towards Madame is by applying her lessons to her daily life.

OPEN - Pierre’s Journey after War is an intimate story of a man whose wife and children are killed during bombardments of France in WWII. Devastated and embittered, Pierre leaves everything behind and embarks on an odyssey to bury his past in the darkest recesses of his mind. The journey, which lasts more than forty years, involves a sequence of events and coincidences that ultimately provide him new direction and a sense of purpose. Pierre feels at home in moving from place to place. When his mission in a specific village or town is accomplished, he wanders once again, observing and savouring whatever life offers. His activities are circumstantial and unpredictable. Intuitively, he remains on the move to reconcile his past while his future stands still. He returns to France an old man. On a day on a walk past vineyards near his former home, Pierre is offered a lift by a couple whose absurd, whimsical presence vividly contrasts with whatever solemn tranquillity he’d found through his consequential journey and search for redemption. Pierre for the first time is inspired to speak of his past.
