In this very French romcom by Emmanuel Mouret (Diary of a Fleeting Affair), Joan (India Hair) is no longer in love with Victor, but it pains her to feel she is being dishonest with him. Her best friend Alice (Camille Cottin) reassures her: she herself doesn’t feel passionate about her partner Eric and yet their relationship is smooth sailing. She has no idea he is having an affair with their mutual friend Rebecca (Sara Forestier). When Joan finally decides to leave Victor, the latter goes missing and the lives of the three friends are turned upside down.
