A Perfect Plan
Short description
Isabelle wants to marry the man she loves, but she fears a family curse that causes every first marriage to end in divorce. To bypass this fate, she decides to find a random stranger to marry and divorce quickly before committing to her boyfriend. She chooses Jean-Yves, a travel guide editor, and the two embark on a journey that takes them from Mount Kilimanjaro to Moscow. As the trip progresses, Isabelle must decide if she still wants to get rid of her husband or if she has developed genuine feelings for him.

What's left behind the scenes
- Filming took place from August 23 to November 19, 2011, in three countries – Belgium, Russia, and Kenya.
- According to the original plan, the African scenes were to be filmed in Tanzania. Suitable locations were already being scouted for the director, but preference was ultimately given to another African country. One of the determining factors was that Kenya already had the necessary infrastructure, which had previously been used during the filming of 'The Constant Gardener' (2005).
- For the Russian dance scene, actress Diane Kruger had to learn a fairly complex choreography and then rehearse the movements for two hours a day while she was on vacation in the United States.
