Our take

In this audacious romantic comedy, Sara Forestier plays a free-spirited woman on a liberal mission of political conversion under the sheets. An unbridled and cheeky affair tackling a myriad of controversial topics related to France’s ethnic diversity, with brazen flair and Gallic jokes a gogo.
