There's a gentle feel-good sweep to Grégory Magne's French dramedy, which though it is built of familiar elements, remains a very watchable blend thanks to stars Emmanuelle Devos and Grégory Montel.
Montel plays slightly hapless chauffeur Guillaume Favre, riding his luck with his employer after picking up points on his driving licence and desperate to get the cash together to move into a bigger apartment so that he can share custody of his nine-year-old daughter Léa (Zélie Rixhon). Devos, meanwhile, is his latest client, Anne Walberg, an aloof sort who once worked as a perfumier's "nose" but now finds herself creating scents for shops and factories for reasons that aren't revealed until deep in the runtime.
There's no doubt we've been here before, as initial friction between Guilliame and Anne begins to shift, her coolness warming in the face of his refusal to simply back down to her demands.
