The movie, described as Julie & Julia in tone, would follow an American journalist who moves to Paris for her husband’s job and raises a family there. As she tries to figure out how to balance her family and career — and battle the feelings that she is failing at both — she observes her French neighbors and friends to uncover the secrets behind parenting astonishingly well-behaved French children. However, she learns that everyone, no matter how perfect they appear, has their own problems.
The most recent draft of the project is written by Jamie Minoprio and Jonathan Stern.
