Nelly and Mr. Arnaud

Claude Sautet's swan song and his second collaboration with Emmanuelle Béart, was destined to be one of the best French films of the 90s, with an emotional richness that emerges through the professional meetings of 2 people who approach the concept of time in a very different way.

Nelly has a suffocating debt with the apartment she rented with her lazy husband, but Arnaud gifts her 30 thousand francs. Nelly accepts the money and then agrees to type her wealthy friend's memoirs.
