Synopsis

Alex, is a 34-year old woman who flees to a remote mountain village in the French Ardèche struggling to put her life back on track. Unwashed, wearing man’s clothes, she fills her time with working on the odd construction job but she tries hard and does manage to attract a supermarket employee (Eric Savin), with whom she hopes to restore an abandoned mountain cottage and attract her estranged teenage son Xavier (Adrien Riz) to come live with her. —IMDb

Pretty good film - I agree it is precious, a little too much in places but overall very watchable.
