The friction between this mismatched pair remains so good natured in this delightful comedy, which is also a visual and sophisticated treat.

Anne Walberg (Emmanuelle Devos, Read My Lips, Kings and Queen) was once the star of her industry, a master perfumer whose ability to produce enticing new fragrances was second to none and enabled her to rise through a competitive landscape. She remains in demand, but her temperamental, diva-like behavior has made it a difficult experience for anyone working with her. However, her fragrances are valuable and she continues to sell her incredible gift to many companies. In order to accommodate her mandates, her clients provide her with a driver, Guillaume Favre (Grégory Montel, Call My Agent!). He is a divorced dad and needs to keep his job as a chauffeur so that he can pay for a better place to live. However, his resolve is put to the test by her behavior and unlike most people, Guillaume is bold enough to stand up to Anne, which is an attitude that she begins to respect. They do not form an instant bond overnight, but at least she does not fire him, as they develop an unlikely friendship. It is a testament to the wonderful performances that the friction between this mismatched pair remains so good natured in this delightful comedy, which is also a visual and sophisticated treat.

Screened in French with English subtitles.
