EUROCINEMA PICK OF THE MONTH
L’EX FEMME DE MA VIE, France. Even after a break up some romantic feelings linger. Tom Steiner (Thierry Lhermitte, THE CLOSET, THE DINNER) has written a string of novels under several pseudonyms, tales of horror and romance through a Harlequin-style collection. He is about to marry Ariadne (Nina Fares (STORM WARNING, THE NEST), an extremely dynamic Press Officer, who dreams of making him a great writer.
One evening while he dined near his home, with his fiancée, Nina (Karin Viard, POTICHE, PARIS), his ex-wife, arrived at the restaurant. He has not heard anything since their stormy divorce seven years ago. This meeting could have been completely coincidental, but Nina, seven months pregnant, has just been dumped by her boyfriend and is now penniless. Tom feels obliged to help, in spite of himself, as he always thought of Nina as the “great love of his life”.
