Jacques (Bernard Campan) is in his 50s and divorced. Not only is his health failing, his wine business is on the brink of bankruptcy. 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.
