ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A delightfully sweet romantic comedy about the spark of a relationship between a beautician, Rose, played by Juliette Binoche (THE ENGLISH PATIENT), and a cook, Felix (LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL), as they room overnight at an airport hotel. Featuring darling direction by Danièle Thompson (THE LOG), the Philadelphia Inquirer calls the film "An enjoyable getaway into retro romance."

SYNOPSIS

At Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, a beautician on her way to a new job in Mexico accidentally meets a cook who is on his way back from America. Labor strikes, bad weather, and pure luck cause the two of them to share a room overnight at the airport Hilton hotel. Will their initial mutual indifference and downright hostility turn into a one night stand or perhaps something more?
