Different shorts involving love stories and Paris. I can't remember what I was doing, but the first one Caroline had me watch was "Tour Eiffel" with the mime. She thought it would be cute based on how the story was being told by the little boy. And it ended up being quite cute. I watched most of the ones after that one. Maggie Gyllenhaal was in "Quartier des Enfants Rouges," and that was a fairly sad story. Elijah Wood was in a "Quartier de la Madeleine," adding to the group of stories a supernatural romance. But while the last two had people I recognized, there were more touching stories. I just can't correlate the name of the short story with what I watched. For example, I liked the one with the wounded man and the EMT girl. The one that starts out with a man who talks English more than French walking down the street with a girl is a cute little story. But my favorite was probably "Faubourg Saint-Denis" with Natalie Portman. Now I didn't watch the first half of the movie, and I sort of didn't understand the resolution of this short story, but the overall style and flow of the story was super and if I watched it again, I'm sure I would understand and absolutely love it.
