Anne Walberg is a wildly successful master of perfumes. She has an incredible gift for creating fragrances, but is temperamental and a perfectionist. Guillaume, her new chauffeur, desperately needs the job to maintain custody of his daughter. He is the only person in Anne’s life who pushes back on her unreasonable demands, and she cautiously begins to let the rumpled chauffer into her life. This nuanced and delightful dramedy stars Emmanuelle Devos (Read My Lips, Number One) and Grégory Montel (Call My Agent) as two people who just might need each other more than they realize.

“Elegantly directed and perceptively written”. —Variety

“A bit like a visit to the perfume department at Galeries Lafayette before a taxi ride on a rainy day in Paris.” —The Guardian

“Quietly delightful.” —Times (UK)
