Agathe (Camille Rutherford, Anatomy of a Fall) is seemingly living the romantic comedy dream. Working in the famous Parisian bookshop “Shakespeare & Co”, she shares an undeniable chemistry with her best friend/co-worker Félix (Pablo Pauly, Murder Party). However, underneath the rosy facade, Agathe is a struggling romance author stuck living with her sister and battling a severe case of writer’s block. Perpetually surrounded by stories of others’ desires and adventures, she longs for a romance like the ones in her favourite novels. Everything changes when Agathe is invited to a prestigious Jane Austen residency in England. Spending two weeks in a manor ripped directly from the pages of one of Austen’s stories, Agathe becomes acquainted with the handsome (and haughty) Oliver (Charlie Anson, Downton Abbey), a distant relation of the author. Now finding herself in a situation much like the books that inspire her, Agathe must decide between what she’s always known, and something – or someone – new. Direct from a sell out run at the Australian French Film Festival, this utterly charming story from Laura Piani is a delightful love letter to the iconic author whose works still shape our conversations on love today.
