Hari, a taxi driver in the Indian Himalaya, is getting married to Suman, a girl he has never met. Tradition dictates that they will only see each other on the day of their wedding. But Hari has found another way to get to know her: on the mobile phone. Over the past few months they have spoken to each other every day and have fallen in love. Hari’s unusual courtship and marriage provide a warm and illuminating insight into the changes taking place in India as modernisation and globalisation collide with age-old traditions and customs.

Quentin Dupieux (Daaaaaalí!) returns behind the camera with a provocative, absurdist yet hilarious love letter to terrible films and bad actors facing their characters and their lines. This is farcical, surrealistic cinema that only he is capable of – with a message, if not many – and starring his most A-list cast yet. Opening film of this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
