Paris à tout prix

Movie Rating: Agathe Tissier

A young Parisian woman who is well integrated into the city's world of fashion is deported to the country she comes from, Morocco.

The only thing Moroccan about Maya is her origin. As a stylist in a Paris fashion house she has helped high heels clatter down the runway since she was 20. Just when she's inches from getting a permanent work contract, a routine police roadblock reveals that her residency permit has expired and she's sent back to Morocco on the first plane. But how will she get by with her short skirts and long legs in a country she no longer knows and whose customs she rejects? Being reunited with her father, who she hasn't seen or heard from since the death of her mother, doesn't help her situation. Luckily her brother (Tarek Boudali) and grandmother are overjoyed to see her and happy to help. But if Maya wants to get back to Paris, she first has to make a fabulous dress for a show in 15 days...

With a plot similar to that of Né quelque part, also currently in theaters, Reem Kherici takes on lost origins and the sudden loss of the comfort supplied by French papers and all the advantages they bring. A loss of bearings that call into question much knowledge gained and many certainties. With an entertaining ensemble cast who hit the bull's-eye most of the time and despite a somewhat heavy subject, Paris à tout prix is a fun, fresh comedy with a hot setting.
