Exclusive: Angel And Tony Clip

French romance **Angel And Tony **brought its whimsical charms to bear on this year's Venice Film Festival and now it's doing the exact same thing on this very corner of the internet.

This new clip from the film offers a look at the title's characters, shy fisherman Tony (Grégory Gadebois) and newly-released convict Angel (Clotilde Hesme), interacting over a plate of fish. But bear with us, it's no ordinary interaction. One of them's got sole.

If you're still with us after that last joke, you'll probably have deduced that an odd-couple romance is taking shape between the two lonely souls. There are overtones of supernatural arthousers like Luc Besson's Angel-A, but debut director Alix Delaporte's tale is more Earth-bound, with Tony offering the naifish Angel help in reconnecting with her estranged son. In return, she offers the prospect of love and someone to learn the names of fish with.

Will it end in tears or love? Find out when **Angel And Tony **is released on May 4.
