Plot
As she does every morning, Lucie takes advantage of her journey to work to lose herself for a while in the pages of a good book. And as she does every morning, she joins her colleagues at the office with a smile.
Sinekatalog’s take
A woman who escapes into books during her morning commute and cheerfully greets colleagues at work is the centre of a quirky, gentle French comedy. Its whimsy is subtle and the mood buoyant. Recommended for audiences drawn to wry, small-scale observation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
