How it feels

Two parallel stories are told, one set in 1960s Paris about a single mother raising a son with Down syndrome, and another set in modern Montreal about a man leaving his wife for a younger woman. The film interweaves their lives through music and love.

Directed, written, and edited by Jean-Marc Vallée, the film garnered 13 nominations for the 2012 Genie Awards. The film's title refers not to the café on Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, but to a Matthew Herbert song of the same name which the film uses to represent its musical current.
