Avenue Montaigne (2006)

In the heart of Paris, nestled on the vibrant Avenue Montaigne, lies a bustling café that serves as a crossroads for four distinct lives all converging on the same fateful day. Jessica, a spirited and endearing young woman from Macon, has recently arrived in the city of lights. Landing a job at this café, she becomes an unexpected link between three individuals, each grappling with personal crises beneath the glittering facade of their successful lives. Catherine, a beloved television soap opera star, finds herself at a crossroads. Despite her immense popularity and growing wealth, she yearns for a more meaningful career. As she prepares for a leading role in a prestigious Feydeau farce, she dreams of breaking free from the soap opera that's brought her fame, eyeing a coveted film role that promises artistic fulfillment. Jean-François, a renowned piano virtuoso, is on the brink of a major Beethoven recital. Despite his international acclaim, he's grown weary of the relentless concert circuit and the elitism of his world. His passion for music is fading, and his personal life is on the brink as his wife, doubling as his manager, contemplates leaving him if he steps away from the spotlight. Jacques, a seasoned art connoisseur, harbors a precious collection of modern art. Yet, as he plans to auction it all off, he must confront the disapproval of his son, a professor who resents his father's vibrant love life and questions his choices. As the 17th approaches - a day marked by an art auction, a play premiere, and a pivotal recital - these lives intertwine, guided by Jessica's refreshingly authentic spirit. Avenue Montaigne is a sparkling tapestry of dreams, desires, and dilemmas, where personal ambitions clash with professional expectations under the twinkling Parisian sky.

Avenue Montaigne is a comedy movie featuring Cécile de France and directed by Danièle Thompson.
