When professional dancer Pierre (Romain Duris) is diagnosed with a terminal heart disease, he trades his role as a performer for one as an audience member. From his vantage point on the balcony of his Paris apartment, Pierre observes the city and people around him as they move through life. The result: “PARIS.” Juliette Binoche (“Chocolat”) also stars as his sister. See: http://www.ifcfilms.com/films/paris
