Set at the Cannes Film Festival, Claire’s Camera was shot there in 2016, when lead actress Kim Min-hee and Isabelle Huppert were presenting The Handmaiden and Elle, respectively.

Kim plays Man-hee, a manager at a film sales company who is abruptly fired by her boss, ostensibly for dishonesty, though her drunken night with a filmmaker attending the festival may have been a factor. Claire (Huppert), a teacher from Paris, walks around La Croisette taking pictures with her polaroid camera. After she approaches Man-hee for a photo, the two form a friendship.
