Joséphine (2013)
Directed by Agnès Obadia

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Joséphine has become fed up with being single.  She is nearly thirty and see still hasn't found the man of her dreams.  It isn't as if she is particularly choosy.  All she wants is a good-looking stud who knows how to cook, doesn't smoke and adores cats.  She's not asking for the moon, just a man who can make her happy and give her loads of babies.  Unfortunately, despite her best efforts to land herself her Prince Charming, Joséphine remains single, with only Brad Pitt to keep her company.  Brad Pitt is of course the name of her cat.  The wretched woman attributes her failure to find Mr Right to her physique, in particular her over-developed hind quarters.  If only she wasn't so well-endowed in this department, she would probably be hitched up by now with the perfect clean-living, cat-loving hunk.

Undeterred by her lack of success so far, Joséphine continues her frantic man hunt, confident that one day her luck will change for the better.  Then her sister drops her bombshell: she is about to get married!  Joséphine cannot allow herself to be out-done by her sibling, so she invents a fantasy lover for herself.  He is an incredibly wealthy Brazilian man, a surgeon no less, and he is so passionately in love with Joséphine that he has invited her to live with her on the other side of the world as his wife.  It is not the most outrageous of lies.  In fact it has a ring of plausibility about it.  Unfortunately, this little white fib is about to rebound in ways that Joséphine scarcely imagined possible.  Oh what a nasty tangled web she is about to get herself caught up in...
