Like many 25-year-olds, Margaux is a bit aimless. Unsure of her life’s purpose or what direction to take, she drifts apathetically between boyfriends and parties. After waking up in the bed of her most recent one-night stand and abruptly quitting her job, Margaux meets an older woman who seems oddly familiar. As they talk, the similarities between the two women become impossible to ignore, starting with their names. Despite bearing little physical resemblance to one another, Margaux and Margaux become convinced they are the same person, 20 years apart. Their relationship becomes even more complicated after young Margaux sleeps with older Margaux’s ex-boyfriend and finds herself in the middle of a love triangle… with herself. Both whimsical and complex, WHEN MARGAUX MEETS MARGAUX is like a Twilight Zone episode with a romantic comedy meet-cute. Are Margaux and Margaux really the same person? Or are all of the parallels between them merely coincidence? Suspend your disbelief about time and space, and you just may find out. (In French with subtitles) —G.S.
