Lesley Manville is Ada Harris, a British cleaning woman in London who believes in the power of fate, despite having not heard from her missing-in-action husband 13 years after World War II has ended. When a package arrives confirming her hubby’s death, she is inspired by one of her client’s dresses to go to 1958 Paris and buy a dress from the House of Christian Dior. When she actually gets to the City of Lights, it opens up to her magic wish, and she becomes involved in everything Dior, including his Office Manager Claudine (Isabelle Huppert), Model Natasha (Alba Baptiste) and accountant Andre (Lucas Bravo) … she is ready to dress for success.
