Hunting and Gathering

Camille, a gifted but profoundly reclusive artist, is slowly fading away in her freezing Parisian garret, battling an eating disorder and a deep sense of despair. Her life takes an unexpected turn when Philibert Marquet de La Durbellière, a stammering, aristocratic intellectual who sells postcards, discovers her unconscious. In an act of quiet courage, he brings her into the sprawling, ornate apartment he caretakes below, which he shares with Franck, a talented yet abrasive chef. This unlikely trio soon forms a fragile bond, each character bearing their own scars and eccentricities. As they navigate their individual struggles – Camille's fight for life, Philibert's social anxieties, and Franck's complex relationship with his ailing grandmother, Paulette – they gradually learn to lean on one another. "Hunting and Gathering" is a tenderly ironic and deeply moving tale of found family, where a collection of misfits in contemporary Paris discover solace, friendship, and the courage to face the world together, proving that connection and compassion can heal the most profound wounds.
