- Fed up with city life, Sandrine (Mathilde Seigner) decides to leave Paris and live out her dream of becoming a farmer.

A treat for Francophiles - The Girl from Paris review by Alphaville
Diverting, bucolic little movie like only the French seem able to make, about a girl who gives up a job in the city to buy a goat farm in the Alps. An hour and a half in the Alps from the comfort of your armchair. What’s not to like?

French film making at its best - The Girl from Paris review by CP Customer
A bittersweet story of the city girl who decides to opt out of Paris to become a farmer. She comes up against the previous cantankerous owner during the first hard winter. There are a couple of quite brutal scenes when the harsh reality of how our meat gets on our supermarket shelf are shown.
Great supporting cast especially the farmer friend who leaves his car windscreen wipers on all Summer, because he does not know how to turn them off.
