When his children’s mother Wendy announces she’s moving to New York with them, Xavier decides to move there too. But from fathering a child to a lesbian couple, to marrying a Chinese-American to get papers, and reigniting a flame with his first love, Xavier’s life does seem like a Chinese Puzzle…

The same energetic, sparkling playfulness runs through the last film in Cédric Klapisch’s The Spanish Apartment trilogy. This time we return to the head-spinning and complicated lives of his characters fifteen years later in New York, still played by Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou and Cécile de France.
