Thirty-year-old Ben is about to marry Juliette.

She's back in Paris, and the only person she now knows is him…

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Manu Payet co-directed his own star vehicle, essentially making a feature-length therapy session about male mid-thirties panic.
This belongs to a wave of 2010s French rom-coms obsessed with immature thirtysomething men—think a softer Hangover with better architecture.
