An interactive video designed to improve students' language comprehension skills by exposure to the spoken French of native Parisians.  Filmed in Paris especially for interactive use, presents the story of Philippe, a young journalist whose girlfriend has thrown him out of her apartment.  The student's task is to help Philippe find an apartment or perhaps patch things up with his girlfriend.  The program accommodates students of different levels by providing comprehension tools to which the teacher can control access (video and text previews, context-sensitive help, full and partial French subtitles, an electronic glossary, and an alternative studio soundtrack).
