Hunting and Gathering

The meeting of four crossed destinies who will end up taming each other, knowing each other, loving each other, living under the same roof.
Camille cleans offices in the evenings and draws gracefully in her spare time. Philibert is a young aristocrat with a passion for history, shy, emotional, and solitary, living in a large apartment owned by his family. Franck is a cook, virile and tender, and he deeply loves his grandmother, Paulette, a fragile and funny old lady.
Together, they will learn to soften their doubts and sorrows, to move forward and make their dreams come true. They will discover themselves and understand that together, we are stronger.

Acclaimed director Claude Berri (Jean de Florette) helms the whimsical romantic comedy Ensemble, c’est tout (Hunting and Gathering, 2007). A box office blockbuster in France, the picture follows the romantic couplings that form in the lives of several lonely Parisian singles. The lead characters include: an emotionally fragile, exhausted cleaning lady named Camille (Audrey Tatou) who is suffering from anorexia; a well-to-do young man named Phillibert struggling with his own sexual orientation (Laurent Stocker) but who begins to drift toward heterosexuality and a stable relationship with a woman; and Phillibert's rebellious pothead roommate Franck (Guillaume Canet), who can never quite breach the possibility of committing to one woman, or come face to face with his dream of opening a French restaurant - until he meets Camille and the pieces begin to fall into place. Writer-director Berri adapted the novel by Anna Gavaldi.
