Arpan Thapa and Thinley Lhamo lean in for a kiss in the teaser for French Kiss, the Nepali film written and directed by Thapa.
Arpan Thapa and Thinley Lhamo walk hand in hand through Kathmandu, weighing a question that seems an odd fit for a date. Has love become a myth?
In the teaser for the Nepali film French Kiss, what the two say about love is only half the story. Watch what happens when they stop talking.
Thapa and Lhamo are the only two people on screen. Their conversation carries on from the city streets to the lakeside, each with a different idea of what love means today.
In private, they share a kiss. Later, they slip into a hotel. The first sign that something has changed comes through the sound. Voices rise, and the teaser leaves us to wonder what happened between them.
Thapa wrote the story and directed the film, with Shambala actor Thinley Lhamo opposite him.
Rekha Thapa, Gauri Malla and Aayesha Tamang also feature in the film. Sudeep Baral handled the cinematography, and Deepak Bajracharya composed the music.
French Kiss will open in cinemas on January 15, 2027 (Magh 1), for Maghe Sankranti.
