The Love Letter

Jonas, a 40-something Parisian, is still desperately in love with his ex-girlfriend Léa. When he knocks at her door to confess his feelings and she turns him down, he ends up at the café downstairs. Inspiration strikes and he sits down to write her a long love letter, dodging everything he was supposed to do that day. What begins as a final attempt to get her back, surprisingly turns into a vivid musing on the state of his life – helped by a wisecracking bartender and an array of patrons from the neighbourhood. Director/writer Jérȏme Bonnell came to the Festival in 2015 for À trois on y va (All About Them).
