Written & Directed by Louis Mansfield
Frank Boursin’s life was full of excess. Wine, women, and cognac were the vices of the young American studying in Europe. Settling back in the United States, Frank often looks back on his European adventures with only one problem… he never went. Sitting in his room in his retirement home, Frank fantasizes of the life he could have had until one day he meets a beautiful French resident, Mireille.
