It’s a typical Afrikaans
romantic comedy about a young photographer Lisa (Lika Berning) who discovers
that she has a sibling in France. She decides to travel to France to go and
find him/her. Along the way she meets French chef Jean-Pierre (Thierry
Ballarin) who agrees to help her to find her sibling if she takes photographs
for his new cookbook. The movie was shot in South Africa and France. The
international setting definitely sells the movie. I am a romantic by nature and
enjoyed the beautiful scenes that were shot in Paris. Well done to the editing
and photography team it brought out the beauty of Paris and I am sure that a
lot of people were inspired to save so that they can see the City of Love after
watching the movie. I must admit that the storyline was not developed and
conveyed properly and I felt left
hanging with now clear idea about what really happened in Lisa’s family history. When I walk out of a
movie I want to feel that I understand the story but I was left feeling stupid
with this nagging question ” Did I miss an important dialog that clarified the
story?”. Overall it wasn’t a bad movie and still very enjoyable. Lika ‘s
performance was very natural. Sometimes it was only difficult to understand the
character Jean-Pierre due to him being French and trying to talk Afrikaans but
it can all be part of the charm in this movie. You won’t feel that you waisted
money if you go and watch It. This movie isn’t a Christian movie per se,
but it
made me think that all of us have something out of our past that needs healing
and we will never know what God planned for your future until it happens!
