Despite this, the audience wanted to highlight the 'sweet and sincere' tone of the movie. The story features Omar Sy as Abel, a famous but weary actor whose path unexpectedly turns into a love affair when it crosses with Marlon, a waiter struggling to make ends meet.
The movie climbing up the watchlists is gaining momentum with word-of-mouth praises. Here are a few of the comments 👇
A delightful love story in which you can lose yourself for a few hours. I was really taken by the simple yet impressive performance of the female lead. It's a simple but heartfelt movie. It's occasionally funny, and overall quite enjoyable.
It has a bit of a Pretty Woman vibe, but like a 2025 version. Yes, it's a bit far-fetched but so sweet. I loved it. Netflix should make more movies like this.
Very funny, very cute, a bit cliché but a genuinely warm movie. Plus, there's Omar Sy, what more could you want?
