The Perfect Setting

7.8 stars.

Absolutely had no idea what to expect with this movie. It's a film about jewelers. And how can a filmmaker capture the audience with such a theme, unless there is a mystery or a twist?

A thirty something female jeweler in Chicago is trying to make her mark in the jewelry business, but her designs haven't quite been discovered. As the story continues, we see that she is gifted with a unique artistic design.

She travels to Antwerp to help her grandfather who is in a sudden financial crisis. He owns a jewelry shop, but has been operating alone. She is somewhat familiar with the city, because she spent some of her childhood there.

She meets a young man who works for a rival jewelry store nearby. They share a mutual attraction, but they are on opposing sides in an upcoming jewelry competition.

The story becomes very interesting as we get more acquainted with both characters. Something about the setting, and the romance is very intriguing. I found myself entertained and entranced by this otherwise seemingly run-of-the-mill Hallmark film set in Europe. The magic is transparent with 'The Perfect Setting'.
