Cannes Day Two - 9 May 2018

Today, our luck was redeemed! My day began at the early hour of 6:30 am, as Nina and I woke up to try and catch the only morning train that left JLP at 7:57. We made it to Cannes at 8:10, and the minute we stepped off the train, we ran. Our goal was to make it in time to the 8:30 showing of Wildlife, and it happened to be showing at the theatre that was furthest away. When we got to our destination, we got in line, and we thought that we had a chance. But, we got turned away.

Now, I have good news -- where we did in fact get lucky.  We decided to beg for tickets for the 1 pm showing of Todos lo Saben. I got two tickets! In total, a group of six of us all were able to get in for the showing. We walked the red carpet! Abby and I were in the balcony and we sat next to a nice man from Iran who is the Vice President of a company in Istanbul, Turkey. After Todos lo Saben, I went back to JLP for the day to get some much needed rest.
