After an idyllic date night full of red wine and a late-night motorcycle ride home, Mia (Virginie Efira) stops at a Parisian bistro to take shelter from a downpour. Her reprieve is shattered when a gunman opens fire.
Directed by Alice Winocour, Revoir Paris (also known as Paris Memories) is a deeply moving French drama that explores the psychological aftermath of a tragedy. The story follows Mia, a translator who seeks shelter in a Parisian bistro during a storm only to find her life upended when a gunman opens fire.
Months later, struggling with partial amnesia and a hazy recollection of the attack, Mia returns to the city to piece together the fragmented events of that night. Joining a support group for survivors, she connects with fellow regular patrons—including a wry banker with severe injuries and a grieving teenager—who help her navigate the long road toward healing.
Driven by a César Award-winning lead performance from Virginie Efira, the film offers a sensitive, tender look at survival, shared trauma, and the unexpected human connections forged in the wake of violence.
