Special Screenings
In present-day Montreal, a renowned DJ, Antoine, recently divorced and in love again, still feels a strong connection to his ex-wife, who hopes to win him back. Meanwhile, in Paris in 1969, single mother Jacqueline loves and cares unconditionally for her son Laurent, who has Down syndrome. When he falls in love with a classmate, Jacqueline makes a life-altering decision. These two seemingly unrelated stories of love and separation are linked by the melody of the jazz album Café de Flore.

“A unique emotional experience, insanely good music, and love stories that are both beautiful and heartbreaking - Café de Flore has it all. This film holds a special place in my heart, as its soundtrack echoed throughout the Vilnius Film Festival back in 2012. I admire how, despite telling painful love stories, director Jean-Marc Vallée keeps the film infused with warmth and humanity. So, sit back and enjoy Café de Flore, and if you ever find yourself in Paris, don’t miss the chance to visit the cozy café of the same name.” (Vida Ramaškienė)
