Fine Fleur in New York and Los Angeles
The film tells the story of Eve Vernet, a horticulturist specializing in the creation of roses. One day, she receives a call that will change everything: someone offers to buy her bankrupt farm. An unthinkable solution for one who has devoted her life to growing flowers, a legacy from her late father. At his side, Véra, his secretary, will then try to save the house of “Roses Vernet” by hiring three young employees in reintegration. Except that the happy trio knows absolutely nothing about horticulture. But as she trains them in her profession, a bond develops between them. Together, they will fight to save the farm.
A scenario that is particularly close to the heart of director Pierre Pinaud, for whom the love of flowers is a second passion after cinema, ” between the two, the coexistence is necessarily peaceful since basically, they feed on the same source: the search for an aesthetic and a staging “, he explained in a press release. An enthusiasm shared by the main actress who confides that what she liked about Fine Fleur, ” it is the personality of the character and also her trajectory: that of a woman who was a glory in her profession, who is no longer so but will nevertheless succeed in reborn by accepting the help of people who are also at the bottom of the hole ».
The story is light but the film is good. He recalls France. And then we love Catherine Frot and her way of always embodying her characters.
A resolutely optimistic film, screened in New York and Los Angeles from April 1 at Angelika Film Center in New York, at Laemmle Royal in Los Angeles and Lammle Playhouse in Pasadena.
