Synopsis

A filmmaker presents a short film in the Locarno Film Festival. But during her stay, she also shoots a feature length film and stars in it. The next year, she presents the film in that same festival. This is not the plot of Macaroni & Cheese: it’s just some information about its making and premiering. Macaroni & Cheese is a film that takes place during a real festival, and it’s also a festive film: it’s about three girl friends who go to a festival to have a good time, hit the parties, and seek romances, adventures, and sex. Well, they also watch some films and talk about cinema (even Olivier Père, the Festival director until 2012, is featured playing himself). One of the girls is crazy for Louis Garrel, the other ones have less star-fucking tribulations. Among conversations about sex, female companionship, and the kind of food you can get with a tight festival budget, Macaroni & Cheese bets on comedy and lightness –a happy, fresh, bubbling and familiar hangover.
