ABOUT THE FILM:

In French and English with English subtitles.

Swapping homes means swapping lives. In this Lubitschian romantic comedy of mistaken identities, misunderstandings, inverted roles, and motherly love, the free-spirited, straight-talking Béatrice (Juliette Binoche) trades her messy Parisian apartment with Henry (William Hurt), a buttoned-up New York shrink with a pristinely curated Fifth Avenue penthouse, a golden retriever, and a fiancée. Henry discovers on his return to New York that Béatrice is conducting therapy sessions with his neurotic patients. Intrigued, he pretends to be one of them and soon finds himself on the proverbial couch. As the transference and countertransference inevitably take hold, so too does their love.
