Veronique

Synopsis

Veronique, the cool French actress from Paris, is the girlfriend of our 'hero' boy. Every morning they meet on the bus on their way to school and as the days pass by their relationship grows stronger and stronger. Or at least that is what the boy tells his best friend. The film is about the innocence of love, when a person has a crush on someone they have never even met. When we are young these moments can be so important to us because they can act as a substitute before we experience our first 'real' relationship. It's about how it is to daydream and to fall in love. Even if it's only for a week or two.
