When Hélène Marchal and Joachim Fox meet, their lives couldn’t be more different. Hélène, a bit of a snob, runs the prestigious Paris Opera ballet school. Joachim, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, works for a mirror maker. Upon a chance meeting, a strange power pulls the opposites together. From the moment they meet – and against their will – Hélène and Joachim begin a lovers’ dance they are powerless to stop.
“Romantic and optimistic to its core, Hand In Hand is shot and edited with Nouvelle Vague verve and nonchalance.” Lee Marshall, Screen Daily
