Greta and Marguerite
Represented by Susanna Lea
Passion, betrayal, friendships and family secrets…
A perfect escape…
When turbulence on a flight from Bombay to Paris brings middle-aged Romuald and flight attendant Greta together, it’s love at first sight. Something about Greta’s youth, her fierce spirit, or perhaps the altitude, shatters Romuald’s structured life. He leaves his wife Marguerite and
daughter Sally and moves in with Greta.
But Romuald’s new life with Greta is cut short when he dies in an accident, leaving both Greta and Margerite stunned by a dark secret: Romuald had been going to Finland for a week every year, as part of a mysterious annual journey that neither of them knew anything about. Driven by
a shared love for the man they both cherished, Greta and Marguerite embark on an unexpected adventure into the heart of Finland’s remote forests to uncover his secret.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Kaitalampi, their journey becomes not just a quest for answers, but a profound and humorous exploration of love, identity, and the families we choose.
