Fat Legs

It's been over a year since Anna (writer-director Sophie Mathisen) split with ex-boyfriend John (Tom Wren) and life is only getting harder. An actress, she isn't landing auditions - and the pressure from her family to make it work or call it quits is ever increasing. Dreading a future as uncertain as the present, Anna travels to Paris and to the home of her best friend Jean (Jonathan Burteaux). Life for Jean seems stable. He's given up acting for a regular paycheck and is settling down with his French partner Philippe (Francois Vincentelli). The timing of Anna's arrival isn't great, however. Philippe's mother is dying and it's taking its toll on them both. Thankful for the easy excuse to escape, Jean dedicates his time and attention to Anna who, herself, is devoted to another task entirely.
