A contemporary and offbeat romantic comedy about a young French bookseller infused with the world of Jane Austen’s novels.
Agathe, hopelessly clumsy yet charming and full of contradictions, finds herself in desperate singlehood. Her dream is to experience love akin to a Jane Austen novel and her ultimate aspiration is to become a writer. Instead, she spends her days selling books in the legendary British bookshop, Shakespeare & Co, in Paris. Invited to the Jane Austen Writers’ Residency in England, she must confront her insecurities to finally fulfill her ambition of becoming a novelist and put an end to wasting her sentimental life.
Variety | Critics Pick
"Fills the gap left by such feel-good classics as “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and the Austen-inspired “Bridget Jones’s Diary."
Le Figaro
"Laura Piani's first film paints a delicate and burlesque portrait of an undecided bookseller in her thirties. Camille Rutherford is the luminous revelation."
TV 7 Days
"A romantic comedy far from the beaten track and full of lovely moments, whose depth is always adorned with lightness."
