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). 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 unexpectedly 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 yet headstrong Oliver (Charlie Anson, Downton Abbey), Jane Austen’s great-great-great-great nephew.

Now finding herself in a situation much like the books that inspire her, Agathe faces not only a severe case of writer’s block, but a tantalising love-triangle that Austen herself would be proud of.

A smash-hit at the Alliance Française French Film Festival, this utterly charming rom-com from Laura Piani is a delightful love letter to the iconic author whose works still shape our conversations on love today.

Cast: Camille Rutherford, Pablo Pauly, Annabelle Lengronne, Liz Crowther, Charlie Anson.
