About
A filmmaker begins an affair with a young intern while staying with his wife, intending to keep both women.
Pierre, played by Stanislas Merhar, is a filmmaker working on a documentary about the French Resistance. He is married to Manon, played by Clotilde Courau. They live in simple circumstances and get by with odd jobs. Manon supports Pierre where she can, while their poor financial situation and his lack of success leave him increasingly dissatisfied. He meets Elisabeth, a young intern at a film archive played by Léna Paugam. Elisabeth flirts with him, and he begins an affair with her. Pierre does not intend to leave Manon; he wants to keep both women.
