“There’s only one Paris, and however hard living here may be, and if it became worse and even harder, [the city does] a world of good.” — Vincent van Gogh
In the midst of a global pandemic, the artist’s words resonate more than ever. Through a series of interconnected stories, we journey to this one and only Paris and take a glimpse at how it and its residents are adapting to the “new normal.” As we traverse the city’s 20 arrondissements, we encounter an eclectic cast of characters who must confront a range of new challenges and emotions which have arisen due to Covid-19. By daring to overcome anxiety, loneliness and stubbornness, they find courage, love and, most importantly, hope, exactly what we need in these uncertain times. In the face of adversity, the City of Light still sparkles—and proves that it does a world of good and does the world good.
