English title: Russian Dolls.
Synopsis: Sequel to "L'auberge espagnole". Now Xavier is without a steady girlfriend, and writes all sorts of vile stuff (biographies as a ghost writer, TV movies, newspaper articles about assorted banalities) while his dream of becoming a novelist is forever postponed. He accepts a job of adapting a screenplay of his for the English language, teaming up with Wendy, whom he knew from Barcelona.
Appraisal: Almost insufferably insubstantial and insignificant for most of its duration. It improves a bit near the ending.
