“Jonas et Lila, till tomorrow”takes place in the first six months of the year 2000. That however doesn’t mean it’s a tale of anticipation. It’s rather the echo of the 1975 film entitled: “Jonas qui aura vingt-cinq ans en l’an 2000”.( Jonas, who will be 25 in the year 2000).

Jonas has just turned 25. He has finished film-school and has married a young African girl called Lila.

“Jonas et Lila, à demain”doesn’t tell a story in the traditional sense of the word, with a beginning, a middle and an end. The tale is fragmented into sixty or so scenes which will little by little build and constitute the main characters, by way of chance meetings and events which will plunge them into the world of the new century dawning, which is hardly much different from the end of this one.

As days and doings come and go, Jonas and Lila, in their relationship and their ties with former film-maker Anziano, the Russian actress Irina, and with Jean, Cécile and others-all undermined by an unstable world-will, little by little, weave the web of what one might, instead of a story, call “a tale of time to come”
