Bernard (Roger Allam), a successful architect living in Paris, thought he could easily cope with his three air hostess fianees (Daisy Beaumont, Michelle Gomez and Tamzin Outhwaite). It was all a question of timetables and a reliable, long-suffering housekeeper (Frances de la Tour) who reluctantly has the role of romantic air-traffic controller. When old school chum Robert (Mark Rylance) arrives, Bernard relishes the chance to show his wide-eyed friend his first-class operation at work. Unfortunately, schedules change, flights are delayed and a new turbo-charged Boeing aircraft is introduced: chaos ensues in this hysterical whirl of mayhem and matchmaking.
