Award-winning writer-director Sophie Letourneur returns to LOCO with her latest film, a witty, delicate love story set in the lush French countryside.

“This subtly frantic romantic comedy by Sophie Letourneur is both a sentimental delight and a cinematic equation: add a budget, a script, and stars to a director of homemade, improvised, personal movies.” – The New Yorker
