He's My Girl
Pittsburgh Premiere ? Director: Jean-Jaques Zilbermann 2009, France, 35mm, 90 minutes, French with subtitles "He's My Girl" is a delightful romp about Simon, a talented klezmer musician.

The plot becomes even more entangled when Simon's ex-wife and the son he's never met return to Paris. (Adult content)
