Synopsis
Feisty 19 year old Kim Matthews (Felicity Jones) takes on the
challenge of her life when she lands a job as a chalet girl in a
glitzy ski resort in the Alps.
Assigned to live and work in the luxury chalet of successful
businessman Richard Masden (Bill Nighy), she spends her days
cooking, cleaning and catering for his family. Propelled into a
world of wealth, fun and endless parties, Kim is utterly baffled by
this new way of life. Finding it hard to grasp all the rules and be
accepted by her uber-posh co-worker Georgie (Tamsin Egerton) she
quickly finds herself way out of her depth.
To make matters worse, she finds herself falling for her boss’s
son Jonny (Ed Westwick.) Gorgeous, charming and talented there’s
just two problems –Jonny’s ice-princess girlfriend Chloe (Sophia
Bush) and his scheming mother (Brooke Shields.)
With few friends to turn to Kim takes to the slopes where she
discovers the thrills of snow-boarding and a natural talent.
Filled with a new found confidence she enters the resort’s
biggest Pro-boarding event of the year.
As the competition draws nearer and Jonny and Kim grow closer it
looks like her luck is finally changing. But Jonny’s family have
other plans for his future and they could turn Kim’s world upside
down.
Packed with breathtaking snowboarding action and stunning locations,
CHALET GIRL is a hilarious and touching story about finding a
talent, staying true to yourself and achieving your dreams.
