Synopse

Monia Chokri’s new film is as bitingly funny social satire about an unequal couple. Philosophy professor Sophia and her husband Xavier live their lives in a bourgeois bubble between vernissages and dinner parties. But the passion in their relationship is starting to droop after ten years’ marriage. One day Sophia encounters workman Sylvain and falls head over heels for him. Through him, she discovers a completely different world: loud, masculine, proletarian. Sophia is fascinated – but for how long?
