French director Guillaume Martinez presents Gratte-papier

director Guillaume Martinez screenwriter Guillaume Martinez producer Guillaume Martinez (Babelone drone) starring Benjamin Bellecour, Gaëlle Brunet running time 8 min

Description

It was a day like any other in the Parisian metro, or maybe not? A young man sits quietly reading his book. A young woman is seated next to him. They have nothing in common, nor do they know each other in the slightest. In spite of this, something quiet unexpected occurs between them – in full view of all the other passengers. And yet, none of the other travelers seem to notice.
