Logline:
When a depressed New Yorker takes an unexpected opportunity to stay in the bucolic lavender fields of Provence, France, she is thrust into an unconventional romantic affair that will drive her to discover her strength and claim her self-worth. From the BlackList: "Romantic dramas centered on adults making difficult emotional choices occupy a smaller space in today's marketplace, but films such as Past Lives, Brooklyn, and the Before trilogy continue showing that audiences respond to relationships that feel honest and deeply observed. The screenplay follows that tradition by placing its confidence in character rather than plot mechanics, giving Celeste and Antoine the kind of restrained material that allows performers to communicate longing, uncertainty, and affection through subtle moments instead of heightened drama. The French countryside also provides more than visual appeal. Its villages, vineyards, and coastline offer directors and cinematographers opportunities to create a romance where the setting becomes inseparable from the emotional journey. The writer demonstrates a strong instinct for intimate relationships and visual storytelling that could extend to romantic dramas, prestige television, or literary adaptations." |
