Ensemble, C’est Tout (which is literally translated “Together, That’s All”), based on the book of the same name by Anna Gavalda, tells the story of Camille (Audrey Tautou), who while a talented sketch artist, works at night as a cleaner. It seems that Camille does everything she can to disappear. She barely eats to the point that her mother even tells her that no boy will be interested in her if she looks like that.
At the beginning of the movie, Camille, who lives in the attic of an old apartment building, gets the flu. Fortunately for her, a young stuttering aristocrat who lives in the building, Philibert (Laurent Stocker), whom she had befriended, finds he freezing and decides to take her in to live with him in his apartment. Unfortunately, his roommate, Franck (Guillaume Canet) is not as excited as Philibert at the prospect of a new person sharing the apartment. You see, Franck is a dissatisfied chef who works six days a week and on his day off goes to visit his grandmother Paulette (Francoise Bertin), whom he feels guilty for putting into a home.
But even though everything seemed to be going wrong, these four people will change each other’s lives in the most unexpected ways.
At the heart of the story, Audrey Tautou and Guillaume Canet give life to these characters with such simplicity that it makes the film what it is.
It is so rare nowadays with all the blockbuster movies coming out of Hollywood to find a simple story told in such a way that you can not only relate to it but you’ll also be thinking about it for days to come.
