London, 1957. Mrs Harris, a lonely war widow and humble cleaning lady living a hand-to-mouth existence, has a chance encounter with what dreams are made of: a ravishing, A-line tea-length Christian Dior dress. And just like in the movies, modest Mrs Harris embarks on a romantic quest to purchase her first haute couture gown, determined to get her hands on a delicate, precious slice of perfection and live her own fairy tale. As one thing leads to another, Mrs Harris finds herself in seductive Paris, France, and the legendary House of Dior on picturesque Avenue Montaigne after a surge of good fortune, and a grand miracle is about to happen. Is anything possible if you only believe? (Nick Riganas)

Mrs Harris Goes to Paris takes us along for a ride in the magical-realist presentation of a recent widow’s road to recovery, leaving us with a warm, life-affirming feeling that puts the world in a new, profoundly optimistic light. (Oisín McGilloway)
