Description

Forty-something Irene’s job description reads like a fantasy come true: Traveling across Europe, visiting the most stunning cities and staying in the most lavish hotels, methodically evaluating her experience with a set of criteria that encompasses everything from the softness of the sheets to the temperature of the soup. But a dream job does not a dream life make, and beneath the seeming glamour of her career lies an emptiness that no amount of room service, plush robes, or luxury toiletries can ever hope to fill. Following a shocking announcement from one of the few people she holds dear, the perpetually unattached Irene begins to reevaluate the choices she’s made. A sleeper hit in Italy where star Margherita Buy’s quietly extraordinary performance won the Italian Oscar, “A Five Star Life” is a warm, wonderful, and beautiful trip definitely worth taking.
