A man begins having an extramarital affair to deal with his emotional and companionship needs while caring for his terminally ill wife.

The events of an ordinary summer in the Paris suburbs, but given a melancholy, dream-like eeriness in this superb ensemble piece by new director Mikhaël Hers.
Mikhaël Hers has been one of France's most hotly-tipped new directors ever since his medium-length ensemble pieces Primrose Hill and Montparnasse - films largely about young people walking and talking, but with a magical contemplative atmosphere all their own. Stretching out to full length, Memory Lane confirms Hers's utterly distinctive signature. Very loosely resembling a slacker take on the Eric Rohmer tradition, Hers's film follows the events - or spaces between events - of one summer in Paris and its outskirts, experienced by a group of young people and remembered melancholically at a couple of months' distance. Two sisters worry about their father's illness; a young man quietly unravels; other characters fall in love, or rehearse their indie band in a school courtyard. Little happens, except the quiet moments of togetherness that are Hers' speciality, and yet Memory Lane somehow creates a uniquely haunting sense of things being somehow out of time while profoundly in the present. An appealing cast - including one-time Rohmer player Marie Rivière - enhance the minor-key distinctiveness of this superb debut feature.

A Virtual Reality Movie - In early 2005, David Hanson, an American robotics, is developing its first android human. His name is Phil and it is simply the copy of the famous science fiction author Philip K. Dick. In a few weeks Phil became famous on the Web and in the author's fan circles. It is presented in several conferences around the world. In late 2005, the head of the android disappeared during a flight America West Airlines between Dallas and Las Vegas. Through the memories of the android and those of the author, the film offers an interpretation of Phil's life.
