No Commitments. No Regrets.

Internationally acclaimed director Claire Denis' (Beau Travail, Trouble Every Day) film is both an erotic and beguiling story of a one-night affair between two strangers and an ode to the city of Paris.

It's Friday evening, Paris. Laure (Valerie Lemercier) has finished packing and shuts the door of her apartment behind her. The next morning, she is moving in with her boyfriend. She jumps in her car to go to dinner with friends, only to get stuck in the middle of a mass transit strike which has thrown the city into chaos. But Laure feels good in her car, which at this moment is the only real place she has for herself. As she takes in the sights and sounds around her - the blare of horns and arguments - a stranger (Vincent Lindon) approaches her car in a calm and self-assured manner. She opens the door to the man who - in just one single night - will change her life forever.
