With the help of Lionel, a friendly bartender, she meets Dan and they get on well until Gaëlle spots him with Nicole.

Ineffably graceful, Private Fears is a heartbreakingly delicate meditation on loss, uncertainty and love, made with the kind of serene wisdom available only to true masters. The venerable Alain Resnais collaborates once again with British playwright Alan Ayckbourn, and theater and cinema join to make exquisite music.
The action is set in a magically snowbound Paris where the destinies of six lonely souls converge and commingle.
