Bonheur Académie (2017)
Directed by Alain Della Negra, Kaori Kinoshita

Comedy / Drama

Film Synopsis

Personal happiness is something that has so far eluded the unfortunate Lily.  One year, she decides to give herself a morale boost by attending a summer camp in Croatia organised by the celebrated guru Raël.  She talks her best friend Dominique into accompanying her on this curious adventure which, she is certain, will give her a new outlook on life and a far better chance of hooking Mr Right.  Between workshops and meditation sessions, Lily certainly has much to preoccupy her, but it is a chance meeting with the famous singer Arnaud Fleurent-Didier that makes the greatest impression on her.  Such is the magnetic appeal of the handsome crooner that Lily cannot help falling madly in love with him.  Unfortunately, Dominique proves to be equally susceptible to Arnaud's charms and within no time the two women are at war, vying for the attentions of the handsome singer as if they were two mortal combatants in a fierce medieval joust...
