Trying to Get Divorced Before Marrying Her True Love




Isabelle is living with her perfect boyfriend, Pierre, in Paris and starting to think about marriage. However, her family has a curse-like jinx passed down through generations: 'The first marriage is bound to fail.' This makes her hesitant to tie the knot.



With her wedding to Pierre approaching, Isabelle is desperate to 'somehow become divorced!' Suddenly, Jean-Yves, a flippant travel magazine editor with no romantic charm, appears. To ensure a happy marriage with Pierre, Isabelle decides to marry Jean-Yves and divorce him immediately, joining him on his round-the-world trip. Amidst a chaotic journey—being chased by lions in the desert, having her car stolen, and inexplicably participating in a Maasai wedding—Isabelle finds herself drawn to Jean-Yves, who faces every mishap with a smile.
