Falling Inn Love

Falling Inn Love is a 2019 American romantic comedy film directed by Roger Kumble, an American film director, screenwriter, and playwright, from a screenplay by Elizabeth Hackett and Hilary Galanoy. It stars Christina Milian and Adam Demos.

Suddenly unemployed, San Francisco designer Gabriela spontaneously enters an online contest, winning a long-abandoned, run-down New Zealand inn, she teams up with bighearted contractor Jake Taylor to fix up and flip it.

The film was released on August 29, 2019, by Netflix.

Gabriela Diaz, who already feels underappreciated in her San Francisco design firm, suddenly finds herself out of a job when it folds. Simultaneously it is the week of her break-up with her non-committal boyfriend Dean. He, after over two years together, still leaves nothing in her place.

Frustrated with weeks of work rejections, one evening after drinking copious amounts of wine, Gabriela enters an on-line contest to "Win an Inn" in the New Zealand countryside, and actually wins it. Thousands of airline miles later, she discovers the remote and neglected Bellbird Valley Farm boasts a crumbling facade, a floorboard-treading goat, a local meddling neighbor and innkeeper who covets the space, and a 1960s Land Rover. Charlotte, the owner of the town's only B&B, visits Gabriela and reveals that the previous owner's great-grandson entered the house in the "Win an Inn" contest to get rid of it.

On her first day, Gabriela finds she has a plumbing problem in the kitchen, so she drives into town. Initially she asks Norm at the hardware store if he knows of any contractors, he mentions Jake. They had already butted heads twice, so she immediately rejects this idea. After studying the blueprints, Gabriela decides to do an eco-renovation to restore the Inn.

Charlotte invites Gabriela to her inn for tea, mostly to ask her about the restoration. She makes her an offer on the house, explaining that she hopes to have a monopoly on the inns in the town but was cheated out of it. Gabriela firmly insists her plan is moving forward.

Gabriela soon finds she has been befriended by the café owners, Shelly at the garden center and Dr. Corey as well as Jake Taylor. They come en masse to help her when the rumor of her cold spreads amongst them. Gabriela slowly warms to Jake, and over several conversations finds out he is the nearby town's only restoration expert, chief volunteer firefighter and bereaved since his long-term girlfriend's death three years ago.
