In this sparkling and elegant romantic comedy, the free-spirited and giddily impulsive Anais (Anais Demoustier, The New Girlfriend) careers from one lover to the next while trying to find some direction in her life.

Following a brief dalliance with an older man (Denis Podalydès, Sorry Angel), she soon finds herself captivated instead by his beautiful long-time partner Emilie (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, Summer of '85, Only the Animals), a successful and beguilingly charismatic writer, and an affair begins which may just offer the contentment Anaïs has been searching for.

Featuring stunning Paris and Brittany locations, and a lead performance of immense charm by Anais Demoustier, the debut film by writer-director Charlene Bourgeois-Tacquet is playful, passionate, and thoroughly enchanting.
