Actress Rachael Coopes had a serious long-term boyfriend and successful career in Australia when she was awarded a prestigious scholarship to study under a famous mentor at Clown School in Paris. It was the opportunity of a lifetime, so she upped sticks and fully gave herself up to the possibilities of Paris. Cue a coveted pied--terre set against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, quaffing champagne at midnight with her glamorous new amies, and learning how to flirt in French. But for all its charm and sensual pleasures, Paris had a thing or two to teach her about life, and love. Paris for Beginners is about growing up (even when you're already, supposedly, a fully-fledged adult) and figuring out what you need in life, set against the perennially alluring backdrop of the City of Lights.
