Synopsis

When they were teenagers, Iris (Liane Balaban) and Alex (Allan Hawco) went to see the sexy 1960 French classic 'Breathless' and fell in love. But life had other plans. Twenty years later, Iris is married to a workaholic doctor, stressed out by motherhood and caring for her dying, self-centered film critic father, Max (Kenneth Welsh). Tonight she has scheduled a screening of 'Breathless' at the rundown Paradise Cinema in Max's honor, and on a whim invites Alex. But when Alex shows up with his fiancée in tow, Iris's world is turned upside down and the two ex-lovers spend the evening contemplating the past and plotting a future together.
