She runs into a charming Brit named Adrian (David Oakes), in town on a business trip, and sparks fly as he helps her discover a passion she left behind; designing her own clothing line.

Let's help her look.

(calming music)

- When did you do all this?

Where's the guest bed?

- Grandpa and Bogdan

put it in the cellar.

- You turned it into

a design studio.

- Yes Grandma, I love it.

(laughing)

Thank you.

Are these mine?

- From when you were a teenager.

I've kept them all.

- I love it, thank you.

- You've always loved sewing.

Now you have your own place,

where you can create

something beautiful.

- This makes me very happy.

(acoustic guitar music)

- How's it going?

- It's going great.

- Would you like a coffee?

- Yeah, a strong one.

- Okay.

(relaxing music)

- Come here for a second.

- Wow, this is beautiful!

- Bravo Danielle!

Sofia, you are a vision.

(speaking foreign language)

(phone buzzing)

- This is very nice.

- It's Adrian.

- Answer!

- Hello?

- Hey there, it's your

friendly carnivore.

- Oh hi.

- Have I caught

you at a bad time?

- No, not at all.

- I was calling to see if

you fancied an adventure?

- Adventure?

- I wondered if you'd

wanted to go for a hike.

- A hike?

Sure.

- Great, I'll pick you

up tomorrow morning

at nine o'clock.

- Perfect.

- Bye.

- See you soon, bye.

- He asked you on a hike?

- Yeah.

- It's not sexy,

but at least it's something.

(relaxing music)

- Yeah, uhm, thank you.

(speaking foreign language)

(door knocking)

- Hi.

- [Luiza] Hi.

- I'm Adrian.

- And I'm the mother.

Luiza.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- Danielle!

Your friend is here.

- Oh hi.

- [Adrian] You ready?

- Yep.

Bye, Mom.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Definitely not

Romanian, but cute.

- Come on.

We're almost there now.

- Thank God.

- Now that,

is an incredible view.

What a beautiful

country you have.

- It is, and I wish I

could breathe right now

and enjoy it with you.

And thanks for pulling

my fat butt up this hill.

- I rather like your fat butt.

- Oh, come on.

- No serious.

I like everything about you.

- Really?

- Have you got your

breath back yet?

- I think so.

- Good.

(romantic music)

- And they said

hiking wasn't sexy.

Thank you.

You fit a lot into

that little backpack.

- Well, as it happens, I

used to be a boy scout.

- I didn't know

London had boy scouts.

- Hmm-mm, we used to

go for expeditions

in the Brecon Beacons.

Sitting around campfires,

toasting marshmallows

and singing Ging Gang Goolie.

- Sounds like fun.

- It was, I love

the countryside.

I mean, look at

it, it's stunning.

Everyone's so content here.

It's a real sense of home.

- Romania is a

very special place.

How long are you

planning to stay?

- I don't know.

I can work from

pretty much anywhere.

It's not like I have

anything to go back for.

Or anyone, for that matter.

I rather enjoy my

time here with you.

- Me too.

(romantic music)

(door knocking)

(chattering)

- [Sofia] Hi Luiza!

- Hi.

- Is Danielle back yet?

- No, she is still mountain

climbing with Adrian.

Come on in, I made cake.

- Thank you, come girls.

- Come in the living room, come.

- Take off your jackets

and have a seat.

Auntie!

- Girls, I want you to

meet my Great Aunt Zoya.

- Aren't you all

supposed to be working

at the factory today?

- Yeah, but they gave our

shifts half the day off.

Some inspectors are coming

to check the building

and appraise the machines.

And I think the silent

partners are rearing

their ugly heads.

- They are not going

to close the plant.

It would throw half the

village out of work.

- From your mouth to God's ears.

(laughing)

- They're back!

(chattering)

She has that look

on her face again!

- Yeah, she kind of never

liked leaving the house.

She's so strict.

- Hmm-mm.

- And so does he.

- I had a really nice time.

- Me too, me too.

I don't suppose you're free

for dinner tomorrow night?

- Actually, I am.

- Great.

(frolicking music)

- Danielle, your cousin

is here with some people.

- Okay.

- Do you want to stay for

cake, it's apple walnut.

- I would love to, but I

have been playing truant

all morning, I should

probably go to work.

- Come on, I'll get you

a piece to take with you.

Come, come in, come.

Come, please, come.

- It smells great in here.

- Thank you.

- Hi!

- [Girls] Hi!

- Sofia!

Everyone, this is Adrian.

- [Girls] Hi!

- Hi.

- I'm Sofia, hi.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

- This is my Grandma.

- Hi there, Grandma.

- And they work with me at the

clothing manufacturing plant.

They all saw my

anniversary pictures.

- Oh how was that?

- Amazing.

Razvan really loved the dress.

I think he ripped it a little

but we'll talk about that later.

So now everyone wants a dress.

- That's great.

- Lovely to meet

you all, ladies.

- Bye!

Oh Danielle!

So, who wants to

get measured first?

- I'll go first!

- Me!

- 40, waist, 69.

For height, got 83.

45, 69.

Shoulders, 47.

77, 80.

- [Sofia] 80.

- This is really pretty.

What I like is this border here.

Do you have any more of this?

Got something to

say, don't make a sound

As long as we're here then

I'm yours for the night

If no party's over

I'll be out of sight

I can't lose

attention until the time

This night out, the

retail is coming alive

Beautiful!

Let's try it on you.

That's it.

- I'm hot.

- Now relax, just relax,

just loosen up, yeah?

- Okay.

Cause I'm seeing the

rhythm, I'm seeing the rhythm

I'm seeing the rhythm

- Work it!

Move, move.

Now look at me,

look at the glow.

You're fierce.

- These are

incredible, Danielle.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Grandpa, light it up.

You wish that

you could be my man

But when midnight

comes it's all pretend

Exactly!

If no party's over

I'll be out of sight

Yeah.

I can't lose

attention until the time

This night out, the

retail is coming alive

I'm seeing the rhythm,

pay close attention

(cheering)

(goat bleating)

Perfect.

Because I'm seeing the

rhythm, I'm seeing the rhythm

- So, Adrian, how do

you like Romanian food?

- You could teach my

mother a thing or two.

But if you tell her that though,

then I will hunt you down.

- Sofia, did the girls

like their dresses?

- They are going crazy.

- I've been trying to

talk Danielle into showing

the photos to someone

at her magazine.

- It's a good idea.

No, yeah, it's a good idea.

- It's not my

magazine, remember?

- There must be someone

over there you can talk to.

- Yeah.

- I'll think about it.

- She'll think about it.

To Danielle!

- [All] To Danielle!

(speaking foreign language)

- [Danielle] Hey Claire.

- Holy boho, you designed

all these clothes?

- Yes.

- They are outrageous,

who made them?

- I did and my mom

made the headpieces

and my grandma made

the embroidery.

- I adore this collection.

- It's not a collection.

- It needs to be.

- [Danielle] Really?

- I wouldn't blow

smoke about something

as sacred as fashion.

- Thanks Claire.

I'll get right on it.

- That-a-girl.

- All right, bye.

I'm gonna need three

yards of this fabric.

- [Fred] Hey Adrian,

sorry I'm late!

- What do you call this, Fred?
