TOYS enlist Adèle Exarchopoulos for their fresh new vid 'Fire'

French director Louis de Caunes, creates a short movie for TOYS' new single 'Fire', starring Blue Is The Warmest Colour actress Adèle Exarchopoulos and her real life partner, Parisian actor and model Jérémie Laheurte.
Born out of a meeting between the celebrated director and the on- and off-screen couple, the idea was to paint a picture of two people meeting and embarking on a pretend love story. The music video is an edited version of Apnée, a short film, that will broadcast on French TV channel Canal Plus on 1st December, and featuring an extended version of TOYS' single 'Fire' as the soundtrack.
Louise explains: "Apnée is about the birth of a love story and the intense and contradictory feelings you can experience at the very beginning of a relationship. TOYS scored the short film and it felt right to also release it as a music video for the theme song of the film, 'Fire', as it talks exactly about the feelings depicted in the film by Adèle Exarchopoulos and Jérémie Laheurte. We have an ongoing collaboration with TOYS that started with a music video and continued with a couple of commercials that they scored. Now this. It feels to me like it just gets better and better, but I might be blinded by love."
Comprising of Parisians Paul Prier and Bastien Doremus, TOYS is a family affair, born in a Paris studio that has become the band’s second home. The pair has worked tirelessly for two years, touching up their style to produce an infectious energy of pop packed with synthesizers and bathed in hip-hop and house.
