Happenstance is an unconventional French tale of young girl who is destined to meet the love of her life. On a seemingly ordinary and inconsequential day, lovely young Ir'ne (Audrey Tautou) boards the metro, where a woman reads her horoscope, telling how she will meet the man of her dreams. Faudel (Youn's), a man next to her that happens to have the same birthday, also hears the daily forecast, and sets out to find his Ms. Right. Ir'ne, meanwhile, embarks upon a series of ironic or unfortunate misadventures that are, unbeknownst to her, oddly connected. From her brief encounter with a married man in the middle of an affair to an old woman returning a coffee maker, to a pickpocket choosing the wrong victim, everything seems to be leading to an ultimate conclusion, but will it indeed bring Ir'ne her dream man? Laurent Firode directs this charming indulgence of chaos theory, showing the subtle interconnectedness of everything in our lives.moreless
