Love and Trouble in Paris (L’amour presque parfait) (France)
In this classic romantic comedy set in the City of Light, 36-year-old Julie (Maud Baecker, Tomorrow is Ours) has recently been dumped by her long-time boyfriend. But life takes an unexpected turn when she finds a lost phone — complete with the most gorgeous marriage proposal voicemail you could ever dream of! Blown away by this declaration of love meant for another, Julie embarks on a highly unorthodox adventure of a lifetime: to find, seduce, and marry this seemingly perfect specimen of a man!
