Whether it's a drama or a comedy,
I always start by looking for what defines the character: her fears, her hopes, her desires. For Rose, I tried
to make the connection between this girl's misfortune and her desire to live, between what she shows and what
she hides.”

Two of the biggest stars of the French cinema bring their contrasting styles together in the witty romantic comedy Décalage horaire (Jet Lag).
Rose (Juliette Binoche) is an emotional makeup artist who is hoping to get out of a bad relationship with her boyfriend, Sergio (Sergi Lopez), by leaving him in Paris and heading off to Mexico for a holiday. After losing her cell phone, Rose borrows one from Felix (Jean Reno), a somewhat stiff salesman with an interest in gourmet cooking, who is en route to Munich to attend a funeral.
When both Rose and Felix find themselves grounded due to changes in flight scheduling and a transportation strike strands them at the airport, they end up sharing a room at a nearby hotel, where their contrasting personalities make the evening stormy for them both. As their unexpected stay wears on, will these opposites begin to attract?
Juliette Binoche was César nominated for Best Actress for her role in Décalage horaire which was a commercial hit at the French box-office.
