Inside the walls of their ramshackle boardinghouse, Olive (Harriet Walter) and Hugh (Timothy West) have brought a little bit of Britain to Paris -- and their establishment attracts eccentrics like themselves. But when a pretty young maid (Julie Delpy) joins the staff, their customers' lives are forever changed. Frank Van Passel directs this quirky romantic comedy based on the 1913 novel by Willem Elsschot.
