In 1955, idealistic college student Philippe (Marco Hofschneider) travels from Paris to Virginia on a scholarship and encounters an entirely new world of American football, jazz, romance -- and violent racial prejudice. Philippe doesn't understand why his well-meaning new friends advise him not to pursue April (Robin Givens), an African American woman, and he begins to fall in love with her despite the dangers.

Robin Givens and Marco Hofschneider learn about love in this irresistible tale of a young Frenchman’s eye-opening semester at a small, Southern college in the not-nearly-so-innocent 1950s. After confusing European soccer with American football, exchange student Phillippe Le Clerc (Hofschneider) fails his team tryout but gains a friend in star quarterback Cal (Rick Johnson), an unlikely loner who takes Phillippe under his wing and introduces him to a new world of fast cars, juke joints and sweater girls. One fateful afternoon, during a lesson at his professor’s home, Phillippe encounters April (Givens), a beautiful teacher from across town. Blind to their indifferences, he falls hopelessly in love. So begins a true affair of the heart in this film the Chicago Tribune calls “a class act.” Stunningly photographed and featuring the magical blues of legendary Howlin’ Wolf (played by Charles Dutton) and Sonny Boy Williamson (played by Hinton Battle) – plus other ‘50s musical classics – Foreign Student is a slice of life to be savored over and over again.

A stunning romance about interracial love during a turbulent time. In 1955 Virginia, a French exchange student falls for a young black woman and learns more than he bargained for about American culture.
