The Girl from Paris

The Girl from Paris (2001) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Christian Carion and starring Michel Serrault and Mathilde Seigner.

Sandrine, a Parisian woman in her thirties, buys an Alpine farm on impulse and knows nothing about running one. The previous farmer Adrien reluctantly stays on to teach her before handing the place over for good — an old man passing land he built his life around to someone who can't tell a goat from a problem. Serrault plays Adrien with a practiced economy of feeling that carries the whole film. It's a comedy in the sense that things go wrong in the first act; mostly it's a quiet study of two people learning to hear each other across a very wide gap.
