Sylvie, a reclusive writer living alone in Paris, spies on her neighbors to find inspiration for her new book. When she hires a young man named Adam to help her with the housework, her life changes completely—until it seems that the stories she imagined become entirely intertwined with reality.
Asghar Farhadi, the Iranian Oscar-winning director of A Separation and The Salesman, returns with a new film in French, starring some of the finest actors in French cinema—Isabelle Huppert, Catherine Deneuve, Virginie Efira, Vincent Cassel, and more. Parallel Tales premiered in the official competition at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival—a fascinating and surprising drama with a clever screenplay and compelling performances about art, truth and fiction, and fate.
