This steamy French comedy and box office hit traces the misadventures of four friends, who are more like sisters, through their Sephardic Jewish families—a French Desperate Housewives meets Sex and the City. Michèle Laroque (Ma Vie en Rose) stars as Isa, the edgy blonde beauty shop owner whose financial life echoes her romantic life—total chaos. Through a series of hilarious events, she meets a British-Jewish-biker-accountant named Paul (Andrew Lincoln, Love Actually) who has the potential to help restore order to both worlds. Isa’s sister Alice (Valérie Benguigui, Would I Lie to You? WJFF 2000) is focused largely on her failing marriage to her couch-potato husband and contemplates the possibility of a new love. With wit and levity, the four women deliver insight into the daily struggles of family, friendship and love.
