THE OSTRICH EFFECT

Rights Holder : Linwood Messina
Original Language : French

A refreshing romantic comedy that takes place in Brittany during a wedding weekend…

After being fired because of drama at work, Noémie finds herself unemployed at the age of 37. She struggles to find anything related to her specialty — accounting — and so desperate to do anything, she accepts a job as a wedding photographer with little experience taking pictures. Another problem is that, in order to immortalize the best moments of the wedding, from the preparations to the ceremony, she’ll need to spend three days in a manor in Brittany with the couple and their families.

While things start off harmless enough, they veer towards disaster when two of her former colleagues are amongst the guests. You see, Noémie was fired for allegedly embezzling money from her firm. Between the horrible Vanessa who stops at nothing to cause her problems and the seductive Christophe with whom a relationship seems impossible, the past that Noémie has been trying to keep quiet comes back to the surface.

Just when Noémie is ready to give up, the bride’s grandmother surprisingly steps in to help her prove her innocence and win over the affections of Christophe.

Juliette Sachs lives in the outskirts of Paris but remains attached to Brittany where her mother’s side of the family is from. She worked for many years as a corporate lawyer before working in innovation. Her works have been published by City Editions and &H (HarperCollins).
