[edit] Synopsis
Dieu est grand, je suis toute petite begins with Michèle's first journal entry, "I am 20 years old, and I have ruined my life!" This is just one of the many journal entry titles that are flashed before every particular scene in the film. Michèle had just recently broken up with her boyfriend so she meets up with some of her friends at a café. It is there that she meets the charming veterinarian François. Though Michèle has a promising modeling career, she feels that something, or someone, is missing in her life. François quickly fills this void, and Michèle feels partially whole. She first claims that she is Catholic but is dissatisfied with the results of praying and worshipping. By recommendation, she begins to follow Buddhism through meditation and use of elaborate costume jewelry. Eventually, she discovers that François is Jewish; however, he does not practice his faith. Throughout the film, she immerses herself in Judaism, following traditions such as sabbata. François, tired of tolerating her religious antics, breaks up with her. They part for some time but cannot help but find themselves in the same places at the same time. Finally, at a wedding of their friend Valérie, they embrace and speak compassionately. The movie ends with the famous line, "...to be continued" leaving viewers curious about their future.
