I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere (French: Je voudrais que quelqu'un m'attende quelque part) is a French film directed by Arnaud Viard released in 2019[3] with an adapted screenplay from Anna Gavalda's homonymous collection of twelve short stories.

Since the death of their father, Jean-Pierre naturally assumes the paternalistic and benevolent role with his siblings.
One day, he is contacted by his old friend Héléna, a fashionable theater actress, who tells him terrible news.
[9][10] The film was first released in France on January 22, 2020, in 367 theaters and sold 27,040 tickets on opening day.
