Help me remember this movie

July 10, 2015 5:07 AM

i watched a movie where an American writer, disappointed in love, goes to some remote location to write and is assigned a Spanish (?) speaking housekeeper. Of course, they fall in love. The main scene I remember is that the writer loses pages of his manuscript in the lake, and his housekeeper jumps in after them. I can't find this movie on Google - please help hive mind.

It's Love, Actually, and I think the woman speaks Portuguese. It's the Colin Firth segment you refer to.

Yep, Love Actually.

It is, indeed, Love Actually. The location is in France, she's Portuguese, he's a Brit.

Here's the proposal and the lake scene so that we can all have a smile to jog your memory.
