Simone and Eric, and their two children, move from the Netherlands to a remote, dilapidated farmhouse in France which Simone has inherited from her estranged mother. There she soon meets a chap who offers to take full charge of renovating the house. Naturally, without doing any checks the offer is accepted. Simone is soon writing lot's of cheques and dallying with a handsome builder while her husband has to return home on a family matter. To help out at this time her sister comes to stay. No mention of any inheritance for her, which I found odd. Eric returns to France and we learn that in his absence Simone has become pregnant. This is a slow moving drama and I found myself waiting for the major incident which is flagged up in the very beginning of the film.
The version I watched on Amazon was dubbed into English and some of it was very wooden, particularly the voice for Eric. I would have preferred sub titles to be honest.
Not a bad watch with beautiful French scenery and attractive actors making strange decisions, but a bit slow.
