French comedy starring Isabelle Huppert (The Piano Teacher) as the wife of a prize cattle breeder in regional France. Bored of a life of routine, Brigitte sets off for Paris under the guise of a doctor's appointment. There, she meets a charming Danish gent (Michael Nyqvist, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), and allows herself to be flattered by his attentions...
Much of what goes on in this delightful French comedy drama by Marc Fitoussi remains unspoken, told through body language, humorous subtext and knowing glances. Ultimately it's about yearning, the frustration of routine, and the tantalizing glimpse of life in another place, with another person.

An unmistakably French comedy of manners that also plays well as a universally accessible study of grace under pressure of unforeseen change.

A wry, surprising and touching portrait of a marriage that experiences a gentle shake-up.
