It is for all the people dreaming of meeting the right one on a wonderful heel 12 boot. She is Isabelle: thirty-four years old, a historic boyfriend and she owns a shoe boutique. He is Matthew: fifty years old, a historic girlfriend, he is about to marry he and he manages a restaurant. The streets of Isabelle and Matthew cross briefly (it's a lively bickering, they hate themselves instantly) in a crowded area at the JFK airport in New York, to split up, to their great relief. But, once landed and discovered with disappointment of having exchanged cell phones during the collision, fate will make them meet again. On the backdrop of an overwhelmingly romantic Paris, animated by unforgettable characters - from Marcus, Matthew's eccentric friend, to Marta, his girlfriend, perfect and hysterical, Isabelle and Matthew find themselves involved in an intoxicating circle where it will be very difficult not to fall (from a heel 12) into the arms of love.

TITOLI DI TESTA

DISSOLVENZA DI APERTURA

In sovrimpressione, sullo schermo nero, si legge il testo seguente:

"Dedicato con tutto il mio cuore a Antonella, per sempre mia musa ispiratrice, che mi ha dato la possibilità di regalarle le mie emozioni."

DISSOLVE IN

"C’è un’unica certezza nella vita di una donna. Riposa nei loro armadi: sono gli stivali. Si può ingrassare o dimagrire. Perfino crescere o rimpicciolirsi, ma i piedi, solo quelli resteranno sempre uguali."

Isabelle, titolare del God Save The Boots

DISSOLVE IN

In sovrimpressione, sullo schermo nero, si legge il testo seguente: “L’amore agisce di soppiatto, se gli sbarrate la strada.”

William Shakespeare

"Vi sono esseri il cui destino è incrociarsi. Dovunque siano, ovunque vadano, un giorno si incontreranno."

Claude Gallay

“Se penso a te mi batte forte il cuore e solo questo mi importa."

Tratto dal film L’ultimo metrò, di François Truffaut

In sovrimpressione si succedono i titoli di testa.

NEW YORK - EST. - GIORNO

La narrazione comincia con un’inquadratura dall’alto, ripresa, come l’intera pellicola, in Ultra Panavision 70 mm e filmata con il procedimento Technicolor in tricromia,in vividi colori primari: in una mattina di dicembre, sulla baia di New York, all’ora in cui dalla notte si passa al giorno, la m.d.p. carrella in avanti, tra le nubi che corrono. Sorvoliamo Ellis Island e la Statua della Libertà.

D’un tratto un uccello dalle piume argentee buca le nuvole, scendendo in picchiata verso lo skyline. La m.d.p. lo segue.

L’uccello, spinto da una forza misteriosa verso il porticciolo di North Cove, sfreccia con strida eccitate. La m.d.p. continua a seguirlo. La m.d.p. continua a carrellare in avanti verso una torre art déco che circonda la marina del World Financial Center.
