Alice & the Mayor

The Mayor of Lyon, Paul Theraneau remains completely devoted to serving his city and his country but his knack for generating new ideas has evaporated. Enter low-key 30-year-old academic Alice Heimann who is hired for a nebulous job conjuring ideas at City Hall. Their interactions are our gateway into a lively, funny and touching exploration of the way we live now through the filter of two generations. Talky in the best possible way, this is a classy but accessible piece of entertainment which is also food for thought.
