Plot

Isabelle is prepared to marry Pierre, the man she has loved for the past ten years, but first must overcome a curse that afflicts the female members of her family: all their first marriages are unhappy. She comes up with the perfect plan: marry a stranger, get a quick divorce to avoid the curse, and be happily married forever the second time. She flies to Copenhagen and finds the perfect pigeon in Jean-Yves, an editor for the ''Guide du Routard'', but her plans are complicated when he believes that she is in love with him. When an arranged marriage falls through, she tracks down Jean-Yves again in hopes she can somehow marry him and divorce him without too much trouble. She ends up following him with divorce papers, which he eventually signs after hearing her talking to her sister on the phone. She then explains the family curse and they spend the next day hanging out. After leaving, she realises she loves him, breaks off her engagement, and she and Jean-Yves live happily ever after.
