Synopsis

Valérie is pregnant and breaks the news to Rémi in a café early one morning. He seems hesitant but her mind is apparently made up. They agree to meet an hour later. Valérie goes to work. It's her first day serving breakfast in a luxury hotel. The doors that she opens on the awakenings and departures of the guests reveal different worlds of loneliness and mystery...

About

"The character of Valérie gave me a totally free rein. When Benoît Jacquot offered me the part, I was enthusiastic about it even though I was a little apprehensive about having the camera follow me for an hour and a half. In fact, I soon started having fun with it. It became an actor in the film. I'm happy that "A Single Girl" has been so well received, both in France and abroad. The film deals with the working world in a surprising way and with a great deal of humour. That's what makes it so powerful."
(Virginie Ledoyen)
