He sees little joy in his future until kind, open-hearted, Hortense (Isabelle Carré) wanders into his shop looking for a bottle of wine.
And so the scene is set for a textbook romantic comedy, with two characters - who are complete opposites and both harbouring past heartache - who are undeniably drawn to each other.
This is a light, enjoyable piece of French cinema, featuring plenty of comic relief from a team of supporting players with a generous helping of double entendres and free-flowing wine! Based on director Ivan Calbérac’s stage play of the same name.
