Synopsis:

The story of  L’échange takes place outside a train station where two people, a polish immigrant and a young actress, enter two telephone booths and begin conversing. He looks pretty happy; she looks pretty depressed. Step by step, their feelings will exchange. It's a sober painting, poetical and touching, of the universal proverb that nothing is fixed with everything moving forward and returning.

"Regis Wargnier (director of Indochine) pushed me to do this movie. In Vevey, Switzerland, I attended a photography school and also worked on stage with Patrice Chereau for three years. I had co-directed some shows, like Woyzeck by Buchner, for example. I love directing actors. Even as a teen-ager, I was a ‘little director’ with my friends."
