Va Savoir Movie Review 2001

Romantic farce involving theatre folk. French actress Camille (Balibar) returns to Paris as the star of an Italian theatrical company. She's involved with company director Ugo (Castellitto) but sees her ex, Pierre (Bonaffre), who has a new girlfriend, Sonia (Basler). Meanwhile, Ugo is searching for a lost play by 18th-century writer Goldoni, aided by grad student Do (de Fougerolles) who gets a crush on him, despite her half-brother Arthur's (Todeschini) dislike of the situation. That everyone will interact in each other's lives is a given. French with subtitles.
