Directed by Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon, Lost In Paris stars the filmmakers as a small-town Canadian librarian and a strangely seductive, oddly egotistical vagabond.
When Fiona’s (Fiona Gordon) orderly life is disrupted by a letter of distress from her 93-year-old Aunt Martha (Emmanuelle Riva) who is living in Paris, Fiona hops on a plane. Upon arrival, she discovers that Martha has disappeared.
After some spectacular disasters, she encounters Dom (Dominique Abel), the affable, but annoying tramp who just won’t leave her alone.
Replete with amazing antics and slapstick that has come to define Abel and Gordon’s work, LOST IN PARIS is a hectic tale of peculiar individuals finding love while lost in the City of Lights.
