The Young Girls of Rochefort poster
Synopsis

In the seaside town of Rochefort, twin sisters Delphine and Solange dream of love and artistic fulfillment beyond their quiet lives. As sailors, artists, musicians, and chance visitors pass through town during a weekend fair, a web of near-misses and romantic longing brings ideal partners tantalizingly close—without their realizing it.

Cinematic DNA
I got the idea, I think, very much from Jacques Demy movies. The first one in particular was 'The Young Girls of Rochefort'.
