            The story unfolds in flashbacks, giving details of two separate relationships that become intertwined with each other.
During a dance recital Benigno Martín and Marco Zuluaga cross paths but the two men are no more than strangers, but Benigno notices that Marco cries.Marco is a journalist and travel writer who happens to see a TV interview of Lydia González, a famous matador. He thinks up that an article over the female matador would be interesting and on the instructions of his editor, he contacts her in a bar where she asks him to take her to her house. As they talk she elaborates on the fact that she broke up with her boyfriend El Niño de Rivera, another matador, something that has been all over the tabloids; as Marco confesses that he knows nothing of bullfighting and that he is a journalist, she becomes angry and leaves his car without saying a word. As he drives off, he hears a scream inside her house and stops, Lydia rushes off and climbs back into his car, she asks him to kill a snake that she found in her house, he does so and comes out of the house crying. With that new confidence established between them they become friends and later on lovers. Marco attends a wedding in Toledo and is surprised to find Lydia there too, since she had said that she did not want to go. The wedding turns out to be of Marcos former fiancé who had the same phobia to snakes as Lydia, Marco was very much in love with her and had a very hard time getting over her (which was the reason of his constant crying over things he could not share with her), Lydia says that she has something important to say but she prefers to wait until after the bull-fight that afternoon but she is gored and becomes comatose. Marco does not leave her side at the hospital and finally befriends Benigno, who recognized him from the dance recital. Marco is told by the doctors that people in coma never wake up but that there are miracle-stories of people who have come back but that he should not keep his hopes high.Benigno is a personal nurse and caregiver for Alicia Roncero, a beautiful dance student who lies in a coma, but Benigno sees her as alive and he talks his heart out to her patient and brings her all kinds of dancing and mute black and white films mementos. As it turns out, Benigno had been obsessed with Alicia for a while before she was in a coma, since his apartment is in front of the dance studio where she practiced every day. At first his obsession is only from a distance, since Benigno takes care of his possessive mother who seems to be immobilized, for this reason is that he became a nurse and also beautician. After his mother died he was free to move about and finally picked up the courage to talk to Alicia after she dropped her wallet on the street. As they walk together to her house, they talk about her discovery of mute black and white films and dancing. When she walks into her building, Benigno notices that she lives in Dr. Ronceros house, who is a psychiatrist. He makes an appointment to see the doctor and talks about his unresolved bereavement over his mother, but it all is a ruse to gain access to the apartment where he steals a hair-clip from Alicias room. That night Alicia was run over a car and became comatose, by mere chance Benigno was assigned to Alicia much to the surprise of her father but since Benignos services are the best, he hires him and a colleague permanently to tend for Alicia.Benigno keeps telling Marco that he should talk to Lydia, because despite the fact that they are in a coma, women understand and react to mens problems. Marco learns from Niño de Rivera that he and Lydia had decided to be together again but she had not told him, so Marco finds himself alone again, as he is about to leave he comes into Alicias room looking for Benigno, but he instead finds himself opening his heart out to her despite his scepticism over Benignos theories. Benigno and Marco leave the hospital and in the parking lot Benigno tells Marco of his plans to marry Alicia, but Marco is taken aback, telling his friend that Alicia is basically dead and cannot express her will in any manner but Benigno does not hear any reason. During a routine review at the hospital the supervisors notice that Alicia has missed several periods but since this is a common occurrence with people in coma they do not think twice over it, however Alicia is pregnant and an investigation ensues where Benigno is the main suspect.Marco has left Spain to write a book about travelling through Jordan and in a newspaper he learns that Lydia has finally died, having never awakened from the coma. He phones the hospital looking for Benigno but all he is told is that he does not work there anymore, he manages to find another nurse that he had befriended who tells him that Benigno is in prison for the rape of Alicia. Marco comes back and visits Benigno who asks him to hire a new lawyer and find out what happened to Alicia. Marco stays in Benignos apartment and sees that Alicia has awakened during or sometime after giving birth, but the baby was stillborn. Following Benigno's lawyer's urging, he does not tell Benigno about her unexpected recovery. Desperate, Benigno ingests a large quantity of pills to try to "escape" and reunite with Alicia. He dies of an overdose.Meanwhile, Alicia has begun rehabilitation to recover her ability to walk and dance. The film ends in the same theatre where it began, where Marco and Alicia meet by chance.From Wikipedia under Talk to Her
    

Talk to Her


            This is an anthology feature film showing 18 different five-minute segments of various loving couples in the city of Paris, France."Montmartre" Directed by Bruno Podalydes.Set in the 18th Arrondissement, a local man (Bruno Podalydes) is driving around the narrow streets of Montmartre. He's trying to find a parking space, but can't, and is getting increasingly frustrated. He finally finds a spot, which turns out to be a little too small, but in a funny sequence he crams his car in anyway. He sits in his car, watching couple after couple pass, wondering why he doesn't have a partner. He finally sees a woman (Florence Muller) by herself walking past, and by chance she happens to faint right next to his vehicle. He jumps out to help her as a small crowd gathers. He lays her in the back seat to rest, and then gets back behind the wheel to wait. She eventually awakes, and they chat. There is a spark between them. She says she's on her way to an appointment with her tobacconist. He offers to drive her there and even wait until she's done. They're both very happy with this and it ends there."Quais des Seine" Directed by Gurinder Chadha.Set in the 5th Arrondissement, this segment begins along the Seine riverfront with three local teenage boys yelling catcalls at passing women. One of the boys, Francois (Cyril Descours), makes eye contact with an Arab Muslim girl named Zarka (Leila Bekhti), and they smile at each other. This causes her to trip because she's not looking where she's going. He runs over to help her up. They chat a moment, and Zarka tells Francois that he and his friends are being dumb because they'll never pick up girls by shouting lewd things at them. She says she's on her way to the mosque and hurries off. A moment later, Francois takes off after her. As he nears the mosque, Zarka walks out and is pleasantly surprised to see him. An older man (her grandfather) exits as well. They cross the street and she introduces Francois to him. As the older man and Zarka walk off, they invite Francois to join them. The short ends with the three of them walking down the sidewalk, talking."Le Marais" Directed by Gus Van Sant.Set in the 4th Arrondissement, this segment introduces an American woman and her young male French assistant Gaspard (Gaspard Ulliel) entering a small printing company. As the woman and the shop owner head to the back to discuss business, Gaspard waits and chats to the shop owner's assistant, named Elie (Elias McConnell), another male about the same age. Gaspard, clearly smitten, talks almost non-stop but Elie hardly says a word. The woman and the shop owner return, and she and Gaspard leave. The shop owner asks Elie what he and Gaspard were talking about. It turns out Elie hardly speaks French, and couldn't understand what Gaspard was saying. The shop owner hands Elie the woman's business card and Elie takes off running down the street after them."Tuileries" Directed by the Coen brothers.Set in the 1st Arrondissement, at the local Tuileries Metro underground station, a nameless American tourist (Steve Buscemi) is waiting at an underground Metro subway station for his train. He's reading a guidebook on the city, and one of the things he reads warns him not to make direct eye contact with the locals. Foolishly, he looks around and spots a young local couple having a heated argument on the other side of the tracks. He makes direct eye contact with the woman (Julie Bataille). Before he knows it, she's sitting beside him. The jealous boyfriend (Axel Kiener), still on the opposite side, has a fit. The girl grabs the Tourist and gives him a long, passionate kiss. The boyfriend immediately is upon them, pulling him off her. He gives the Tourist a good pummeling, and then dumps a bag of souvenirs over him. The twisted and deranged girl and her equally deranged boyfriend walk off, a couple again, and laugh about the incident."Loin du 16eme" Directed by Daniela Thomas.Set in the 16th Arrondissement, it begins in an apartment in a working class neighborhood outside the city, as Ana (Catalina Sandino Moreno), a Spanish immigrant, drops her baby off at daycare. As the baby lies in his crib, she sings him a sweet lullaby. She leaves, obviously sad to go, and takes a long trip by train and by bus to a upscale part of the city. As she enters her employers apartment, the lady of the house (whose face is not shown) asks Ana if she can work a few extra hours because they have plans for the evening. Ana is not happy, but says 'yes' anyway. As the woman leaves, Ana goes to a crib and sings the same sweet lullaby to her employer's baby."Porte de Choisy" Directed by Christopher Doyle.Set in the 13th Arrondissement, it begins with Monsieur Henri (Barbet Schroeder), a traveling hair products salesman, trying to find a certain store in Paris' Chinatown. When he gets there, he's greeted by the owner, Madame Li (Li Xin) punching through a window at his face. Unfazed, he goes inside and gives his pitch, which doesn't impress her. He leaves and goes to a Buddhist temple, where a monk confiscates his cell phone. Shortly after, the monk gets a call for Monsieur Henri from Madame Li. Monsieur Henri returns to the salon. It turns out Madame Li was impressed by the products Monsieur Henri had left behind, and together they proceed to give a whole series of makeovers (including one to Madame Li). It concludes with Madame Li and Monsieur Henri having a semi-tender moment together where he compliments her new look, before he takes his suitcase and resumes his travel."Bastille" Directed by Isabelle Coixet.Set in the 12th Arrondissement, this segment is entirely narrated by an unknown Frenchman. It starts with a husband (Sergio Castellitto) waiting at a café, thinking over all his wife's (Miranda Richardson) quirks and habits, and wondering how hes going to break up with her (he's cheating with a hot, young woman). She walks in, and before he can begin she hands him a note from the doctor she has terminal cancer and doesn't have long to live. She breaks down, and he decides to do the honorable thing and stay with her. As he does, and time goes on, he finds himself falling in love with her all over again. He dumps his mistress by text message. One day, the wife finally passes and he's devastated. Several years go by. He's wandering around a market, when he double-takes on a woman in a bright red raincoat. He says he still finds himself looking anxiously at every woman in a red coat (his wife's favorite), wondering if he'll ever recover."Place des Victoires" Directed by Nobuhiro Suwa.Set in the 2nd Arrondissement, it starts in a small apartment, where Suzanne (Juliette Binoche) sits in the room of a little boy, crying. There are cowboy and other Western themed toys and posters all over the room. Her husband (Hippolyte Girardot) comes to console her, and it becomes obvious that the little boy was their son, and he's recently passed away. Suzanne cries out that she doesn't believe in God anymore, because her son is dead and she feels only misery. Later, as they're sleeping, Suzanne hears her sons voice. She follows it outside into a deserted street, where a Cowboy (Willem Dafoe) rides up on his horse. He asks her if she wants to see her son again. She says yes. He asks if she's sure. She says "yes". Suddenly, its daytime and little children are playing all around. Among them is Suzanne's son, and he runs to his mother. She hugs him and holds him tight. The son says he has to follow the Cowboy, but Suzanne cant bring herself to let go. Finally, she does, and she watches as the Cowboy guides her son away. It's night again, and the husband comes running up. He asks Suzanne what happened. She answers that she saw their son, and she believes in God again."Tour Eiffel" Directed by Sylvain Chomet.Set in the 7th Arrondissement, it begins with a funny looking little boy with oversized glasses and a huge suitcase on his back, being told by his unseen father how he and his mother met. Next we see the father (Paul Putner), who turns out to be a mime. He lives alone in a small house crammed between two large buildings. He begins his day eating alone, and then gets into his imaginary car to drive around the city (a very funny Flintstones-like sequence). He makes a couple of stops, eventually ending up at the base of the Eiffel Tower. In mime fashion, he makes fun of the tourists walking around. One family of tourists takes offense, and a man chases him. Next time we see the mime, he's in jail. Also with him is a female mime (Yolande Moreau). It's love at first sight. Upon release, he takes her for a romantic drive around the Eiffel Tower in his imaginary car. It then flashes forward again to the little boy, as his parents wave goodbye to him. Some bigger boys run past and knock the little boy down, but his father shows him how, in mime fashion, to turn his frown into a happy face. The little boy picks himself up and runs off, presumably to school."Parc Monceau" Directed by Alfonso Cuaron.Set in the 17th Arrondissement, it begins with a middle-aged American man named Vincent (Nick Nolte) rushing to keep an appointment with Clare (Ludivine Sagnier), a young Frenchwoman. (Note: The entire short is taken in one long, continuous tracking shot as they walk along the sidewalk.) Clare is worried about Gaspard and says she can't be late because he'll get upset. Vincent tells her to relax, that everything will work out fine. It goes back and forth like this for a few minutes, with Clare anxious and Vincent reassuring that its okay, and just when you think it's about a May-December affair, they come upon a baby carriage being attended to by Clare's friend Sarah. It turns out that Vincent is Clare's father, and he is babysitting Gaspard while Clare and her friend Sarah go for a night out."Quartier des Enfants Rouge" Directed by Olivier Assayas and Frederic Auburtin.Set in the 3rd Arrondissement, it begins with Ken (Lionel Dray), a small time drug dealer, making a delivery to Liz (Maggie Gyllenhaal), an American actress in town to shoot a movie during a party she is having in her apartment. Liz doesn't have any money on her, so they go to a nearby bank machine. As Liz waits at the machine, it becomes obvious that Ken has a thing for her. He reaches out, almost touching her hair. As a ruse to spend more time together, he says he can't make change and they have to go into a bar. They chat a bit, and Liz invites Ken to visit her on the set, and gives her phone number. Then she goes back to her apartment and parties with the drugs he gave her. A few days later, she's waiting in her trailer on the film set, and decides to call Ken for another delivery (and its implied, possibly more). Someone knocks on the door, and Liz is disappointed to find out its not Ken. The new guy explains that something came up and Ken couldn't make it. The short ends with the new guy sneaking a souvenir from her dresser and riding away on his motorcycle."Place des Fetes"
Directed by Oliver Schmitz.Set in the 19th Arrondissement, it begins with Hassan (Seydou Boro), a young African immigrant, laying beside a statue as Sophie (Aissa Maiga), a young local black woman, approaches. Hassan's been injured, and Sophie is an EMT. As she tends to his wounds, he recognizes her and asks if she finally wants to get coffee. She's confused, so he tells her how he knows her. It flashes back to Hassan working in an underground parking lot as Sophie drives in and parks her car. They chat briefly, and Hassan is immediately smitten. He asks her to join him for coffee, but even though she's charmed she declines saying she doesn't have time. Hassan can't forget her though, and dreams and sings love songs, and even approaches women on the street when he thinks it might be her. After one such encounter, a group of thugs hassle Hassan and attempt to steal his guitar. As Hassan tries to take it back, one of them stabs him. It flashes forward to Hassan lying next to the statue with Sophie. She's touched by his story, and asks a bystander to run and get them some coffees. The ambulance arrives as the bystander returns with the coffees. The cups shake in Sophie's hand as she watches Hassan, close to death if not dead already, being loaded into the back of the ambulance."Pigalle" Directed by Richard LaGravenese.Set in the 9th Arrondissement, it begins with Bob (Bob Hoskins), a British businessman, walking into a strip club bar, where he meets a woman named Fanny (Fanny Ardant). They flirt a moment before Bob walks into a booth for a private show. Fanny stays at the bar and asks the bartender to put on her favorite song. In the booth, Bob's watching the stripper when Fanny suddenly bursts in. They argue, and its revealed they know and are involved with each other and the charade is a little game to spice up their love life. Fanny doesn't like it, so she slaps Bob and storms off. Bob chases after her and catches her on the street. She accuses him of being insensitive. He apologizes, and reveals a small band on the sidewalk that plays her favorite song. They make up. As they walk off together, they pass a billboard revealing they're an acting duo, and the subtitle reads 'closing soon'."Quartier de la Madeleine" Directed by Vincenzo NataliSet in the 8th Arrondissement, this short is the most different from the bunch, for it is shot in almost black-and-white with a very old-school horror feel and without any dialogue. It begins with another nameless American tourist (Elijah Wood) backpacking the streets at night, lost. He comes to an overpass and notices blood on the ground. Suddenly, he spots a female vampire (Olga Kurylenko) draining a victim. He tries hiding, but the Vampire notices him. As it closes in, the Vampire's expression changes from anger to fascination. Seeing as the Vampire is a beautiful young woman, the Tourist's expression also changes from fear to almost love-struck. The Vampire decides to spare him, and leaves. The Tourist is upset to see her go so he breaks a nearby bottle and slashes his wrist. The Vampire doesn't turn back. The blood loss weakens the Tourist and he falls down the stairs of the overpass, eventually cracking his head open at the bottom. As he lies there bleeding to death, the Vampire comes back and saves him by turning him into a vampire as well. Elijah stands, reborn, and just when you think he's about to kiss the female Vampire he bites her in the neck. She's stunned momentarily, and then she smiles and bites him in the neck in return."Pere Lachaise" Directed by Wes Craven.Set in the 20th Arrondissement, William and Frances (Rufus Sewell and Emily Mortimer) are a British couple staying in Paris on their honeymoon (although they've yet to marry). As they wander around the Pere Lachaise graveyard, she half-jokes that William is always so serious and doesn't have any sense of humor or romance. He asks her why shes agreed to marry him, then. They come upon Oscar Wilde's grave. Frances is enthralled, but Williams is unimpressed, calling the monument ugly. She gets upset and storms away. William gives chase, but trips and smacks him head against the gravestone. Suddenly, the ghost of Oscar Wilde (Alexander Payne) appears behind him. Oscar gives William some poetic advice about the meaning of love and loss. William, inspired, chases after France, apologizes and wins her back. He offers to take her back to his apartment and make love to her. She agrees and they leave the cemetery arm-in-arm."Faubourg Saint-Denis" Directed by Tom Tykwer.Set in the 10th Arrondissement, it begins with a blind student named Thomas (Melchior Beslon) doing homework at his computer. He gets a call from his American girlfriend Francine (Natalie Portman). She gives an eloquent speech comparing their love affair to the seasons, and says they've entered winter. Basically, she's dumping him. As he hangs up, he thinks back on their relationship. They met when he was wandering down the street and overheard her crying. It turned out she was an actress, and was running late for an audition. He offered to show her a shortcut, and even though he's blind they took off running. She made it to the audition in time and was impressed. The rest of their relationship is played in fast-motion him introducing her to his parents, them at the train station, them at other places around the city, them in their apartment. It goes faster and faster, Thomas narrating the entire time, and it becomes obvious they're becoming more and more distant because he's concentrating so much on school. Finally it ends up with Thomas at his computer again, just after hanging up. He gets another call. It's Francine again. She asks how it was. It turns out the speech was just some dialogue she was practicing. He smiles, relieved."Quartier Latin" Directed by Gerard Depardieu.Set in the 6th Arrondissement, it starts with an elderly American man named Ben (Ben Gazzara) stepping out of a taxi and entering a café to meet his wife Gena (Gena Rowlands). After the café owner (Gerard Depardieu) shows them to a table and brings some wine, Ben and Gena talk. It's the night before they have to sign their divorce papers, and they're trying to end the marriage amicably. They thank each other for not bringing their lawyers along. They reflect back on their relationship, and its obvious they're both a little sad its over, but nothing can be done. She's taken on a younger lover, and so has he (he's expecting a new baby). Their conversation goes from pleasant to somewhat confrontational. Some mild accusations fly, and Gena decides to go. She blows Ben a kiss, and he replies by smiling and calling her bitch (half-jokingly). Ben goes to the bar to pay, but the owner says their drinks are on the house."14th arrondissement" Directed by Alexander Payne.It begins over a black screen, as we hear Carol (Margo Martindale), a frumpy, middle-aged American living in Denver, Colorado, get called up to the front of her French class at a local university to talk about her recent trip to Paris, which was one of her life-long dreams. The rest of the short is narrated by Carol in her really poor (pronunciation-wise) French. Carol wakes up in her Paris hotel. She discusses the food as some of it good, some not so good. She wanders around the city by herself. She takes in all the usual sights, and we get the feeling its more out of obligation than anything else as she doesn't seem to get overly-excited by anything. She likes what she sees, but seems a little disappointed to not be more impressed. She finally ends up at a park to eat her lunch. As she sits there and watches couples walking past and the children playing, she's suddenly overcome with emotion. On the verge of tears, she says that this is the moment she fell in love with Paris, and felt Paris fall in love with her.The film concludes with a short montage of the characters (Bob and Ben greeting each other at a café, Elijah partying at Liz's apartment, Thomas and Francine walking happily down the street, Suzanne and Gena toasting each other through their neighboring apartment windows, the Montmartre man and woman now a couple, Zarka meeting her sister, who happens to be Ana, and going to a music concert with Francois tagging along, etc.) played over that cheery waltz from the trailer.The final shot of the film is the city at night, fireworks exploding over the Seine and the Eiffel Tower sparking with lights.
