A Good Year
Max Skinner, a British investment broker inherits his uncle’s chateau and vineyard in Provence where he’s spent a part of his childhood.

Meanwhile, Max reluctantly finds himself falling for local café owner and town siren Fanny, whose formidable guard is quickly worn down by the smitten beneficiary.

Forget that this is a film about a man's epiphany about what's important in life, and enjoy it for its lighthearted moments, slapstick comedy, but most of all its divine locations.
