Ellen is a suburban mom whose youngest child is about to go off to college. Terrified by the question, “What now?,” she envisions a life-changing trip to Paris with her husband – only to discover that the journey isn’t exactly what she expected.

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, Emmy winner for HBO’s ‘Veep’, stars in and co-executive produces PICTURE PARIS, a quirky short film filled with big surprises, debuting MONDAY, DEC. 17 (9:00-9:30 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.

Sounds a bit like ‘Eat Pray Love.’

Brad Hall, Louis-Dreyfus’ real-life husband, wrote and directed the darkly comic special about life’s difficult transitions.

PICTURE PARIS also stars Rachael Harris (“The Hangover”), D.W. Moffett (“Friday Night Lights”), Jeff Perry (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Matthew Fahey (“Awkward”), Tom Virtue (“The Secret Life of the American Teenager”), Eric Elmosnino (César Award winner for “Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life”) and Grégory Fitoussi (“World War Z”).
