Pot Luck /

L'Auberge Espagnole (literally: "the Spanish inn", released in English-speaking territories as Pot Luck or The Spanish Apartment) is a 2002 French film directed and written by Cédric Klapisch. It is about Xavier (Romain Duris), an economics graduate student studying for a year in Barcelona, Spain as part of the Erasmus programme, where he encounters and learns from a group of students who hail from all over Western Europe. The film's portrayal is in the first-person perspective of the main character, Xavier, and is hence mainly narrated in French. Some of the dialogue is in English however, and a significant amount is in Spanish, as well as small amounts in Catalan, Danish, German and Italian. The film has a sequel, The Russian Dolls. The story follows Xavier (Romain Duris), a 24 year old Frenchman, who leaves his girlfriend (Audrey Tautou) and his country for the ERASMUS programme in Barcelona, a prerequisite for a job with the French government. On the flight over, he meets a young "uncool" French couple who let him stay in their flat while he searches for a place to stay. Xavier manages to find an apartment with other people from all around Europe, including England, Belgium,
