France is a working class single mother
who finds herself in a tight spot when the factory she's been worked
at for 20 years is shut down. With few prospects in her hometown, she
leaves her three daughters in the care of her sister and heads to
Paris. She takes a training class to work as a
domestic. She finds a job as a housekeeper for Steve, a smooth talking
stock trader businessman who has just relocated to Paris after several years
in London. Steve doesn't know much about anything except his work and
he doesn't treat anyone very well.France and Steve have more in common than they know which comes out eventually. I'm not sure what's lacking in this film but I just could not connect with the people. You have empathy for France but Steve needs a few or maybe more good kicks. 3* (This movie is OK)
