Filmed in France, Belgium and New Zealand, The Vintner's Luck is a tale of growing grapes, meeting angels and seeking perfection. Belgian actor Jeremie Renier stars as Sobran, a poor winemaker who one day encounters an angel. The two make a pact. One day each year, as Sobran's fortunes wax and wane, the angel returns to hear more about Sobran's life. Director Niki Caro adapted Elizabeth Knox's bestselling novel with help from US script consultant Joan Scheckel; the film also reunites Caro with Whale Rider discovery Keisha Castle-Hughes, who plays Sobran's wife.

Niki Caro has this incredible gift to unveil her charachters' thruths..their humanity, a rawness... while never intruding upon them. A beautiful combination of subtelty and strength. Also all actors comment on how wonderful it is to work for her.
As a European actress residing in New Zealand it is my biggest dream to one day be directed by Niki, never mind how small the part!
