‘Find Me in Paris‘ is a teen-dramedy that hits all the right chords. It follows Helena ‘Lena’ Grisky, a Russian princess from 1905, who is poised to be the top ballerina at the Opéra de Paris. Her boyfriend, Henri, gives her a piece of old family jewelry. Of course, he doesn’t know that his family members are time travelers, and the innocuous gift is actually a timepiece. While Lena is transported to 2018, Henri struggles to get her back.

Unfortunately, things aren’t as simple as they seem. Lena makes new friends in 2018 and even starts falling for a boy named Max. She develops new rivalries and falls in love with a dance form called hip-hop. Soon, she has to choose whether to go back or remain in the present. The story only gets more intense as Lena turns out to be a 21st-century baby, sent to the past by mistake.
