Agathe is a hopelessly clumsy yet charming young woman who works in the legendary Shakespeare & Co. bookshop in Paris, while she dreams of being a successful writer, and of experiencing love akin to a Jane Austen novel, she finds herself desperately single and plagued by writer's block.

When Agathe’s best friend gets her invited to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England, she finally has her Jane Austen moment…and is caught in a very unexpected romantic triangle. Agathe must let go of her insecurities to decide what she really wants for herself, and to achieve her romantic and professional dreams.

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is an uplifting and heart- warming throwback to classic romance, with a modern sensibility, marking the directorial debut of acclaimed screenwriter Laura Piani.

“witty, well-played French comedy in a Bridget Jones vein.”

Hirayama lives a life of blissful contentment, spending his days balancing his job as a caretaker of Tokyo’s public toilets with his passion for music, literature, and photography. A series of unexpected encounters within his carefully structured routine gradually reveal more of his past.

Perfect Days is a deeply moving and poetic reflection of finding beauty in the everyday world around us, from acclaimed German director Wim Wenders (Paris Texas, Wings of Desire).

“Sublime in the ways it turns everyday routines into something euphoric and profound in how it elevates small moments into epiphanies.”
