Our take

A film of rare warmth and wisdom on the subjects of happiness and womanhood, Sofia Bohdanowicz’s documentary portrait of an astrologer living in scenic Montmartre is lovingly rooted in everyday rituals. From salon visits to breadmaking and gardening, life in Paris shimmers with unexpected pleasures.
