With its vibrant portrayal of Paris and a charming exploration of nostalgia, this film is a delightful ode to the artists and dreamers who shape our identities.
While on a trip to Paris with his fiancée's family, a nostalgic screenwriter finds himself mysteriously going back to the 1920s every day at midnight.
