FRENCH FRIES
Short | 2015 | 8 min
French Fries is a film about love in our generation. Nina is from Berlin, Fabien is from Paris and they are united by always being separated. They can never stay in one place for a long time. Torn apart between wanderlust, self-fulfilment and settling down they are looking for a new way to live their relationship. Fabien wants to fully commit to Nina – but she just got offered a great job in another city. While little neighbour’s girl Grit is observing them, the time has come to face some questions: Where are we going to live next? Do we want a long distance relationship? And is my freedom or career more important than yours?
