She will find love in the person of Jules, a young singer living in Pigalle and a romance will blossom between them in a city where love conquers all! Anne Carrère was born on August 15, 1985 in Puget, near Toulon. She began preparing for a stage career in her early teens studying voice, acting, and a variety of vocal and dance styles at the renowned art school, Salon-de- Provence. She later pursued classical musical training, playing flute and piano. Before seriously pursuing her passion for the traditional French chanson, she participated in numerous French talent competitions and TV shows, showcasing her singing and dancing skills in diverse styles including classical, jazz, and modern jazz. Stéphanie Impoco is a young singer and actress from Cannes. She began her career with the likes of C. Jérôme, Daniel Guichard, and Eli Kakou. She was the lead actress in the role of Juliette in the musical Romeo and Juliette on a tour of Asia in 2006-07 and she also worked on Roger Louret’s Années Tubes show from 2009 to 2011. Gregory Benchenafi began his career in operetta. After moving to Paris, he landed the title role in Laisse nous t'aimer, for which he garnered the praise of the public and critics, and which earned him the nomination as Best Young Male Hope at the Molière Awards in 2011.
