All played out on a split stage, showing the exterior and interior of a Paris café,
Paris Tales tells the story of four writers who are meeting outside a café to drink
wine, catch up, bicker, criticise each other, and generally show off (or moan) about
their latest achievements. They specialise in different genres - musicals, sitcoms,
whodunnits and thrillers.
This is all interrupted by the arrival of a romantic young couple who take the next
table..
Within minutes the pretty girl disappears into the café and doesn't come back.
So what has happened to her?  After a very long interval the boyfriend appears to be becoming increasingly agitated at her absence, and the writers begin to come up with their own theories about her disappearance, based on their own writing styles. André is an acerbic, grumpy author of thrillers. Louis is a successful sitcom writer. François is a young and so far unsuccessful musical composer. And Delphine, who holds the group together, is a strong and intelligent woman with many whodunnits to her name.
As the writers outline their own theories (which are always denied by the others) their
described scene is re-enacted as the action transfers to the interior.
The girl is in a musical. And then she is shot in a particularly heartless way. Then
she is starring in an intimate sitcom episode. And finally she is accused of killing her
secret lover in the very same café.

So where is she? Which writer is righter?
