A journalist stuck in an unhappy relationship realises he is falling for his best friend's current girlfriend. He resolves to romance her himself, taking inspiration from the wise words of a French film director he once interviewed. Romantic comedy, starring Hugh Bonneville, Anne-Marie Duff and Eric Cantona.

Jed prepares to interview French cineaste and self-appointed expert on the nature of love - Thierry Grimandi. The worldly and somewhat jaded Jed is dead-set on dismissing the auteur's musings as pompous and, well French, until his own relationship with Cheryl starts to fall apart and he is forced to re-evaluate the illusive subject. Soon everyone is talking about love: his relationship counsellor, drinking buddy Marcus and Marcus' girlfriend Sophie Beginnings, endings, tricks...could the French be on to something?
