Fiona visits Paris for the first time to assist her myopic Aunt Martha. Catastrophes ensue, mainly involving Dom, a homeless man who has yet to have an emotion or thought he was afraid of expressing.
Paris pieds nus (2016) Online
Martha, an eighty-year-old former Canadian dancer, has been living in Paris for decades. Now losing her head, she is threatened to be sent to an old people's home. No way. Martha decides to call her niece, Canadian librarian Fiona, for help. Alas, when her relative arrives in the French capital, Martha has disappeared. Worse, Fiona loses both her identity documents and money after falling into the Seine. Now alone in Paris, the young woman is desperate. It is at this point that Dom, a homeless man who lives in a tent on the Île aux Cygnes, unexpectedly comes into her life..., for better or worse.

Emmanuelle Riva died just under two months before the film was released in France.
Emmanuelle Riva readily agreed to appear in the film as she was a big fan of Buster Keaton, whose style Dominique Abel and Fiona Gordon emulate.
Shot over a period of 10 weeks. In Paris, obviously.
