Miami Jewish Film Festival – Paris Boutique
Celebrate Israeli Cinema at The Hub!
Paris Boutique
directed by Marco Carmel
Nominated for six Israeli Academy Awards (Ophirs) and starring Nelly Tagar (MJFF films Zero Motivation and The Art of Waiting), Paris Boutique is a delightful romantic comedy about love and friendship. French-Jewish lawyer Louise takes a break from planning her lavish wedding in Paris to go on a short business trip to Jerusalem, where she hopes to seal a multimillion-euro property deal. Landing in Israel, she has the misfortune of being met at the airport by Neta, a broke (and heartbroken) cab driver, who tries to swindle her wealthy client out of just enough money to cover her debts. What starts as a hellish visit, serendipitously ends with both women becoming not only fast friends but also head over heels in love – this time, with the right men.
