Legendary French film director André Téchiné goes back to 1980s Paris in this tender but heartbreaking film about the dawn of the AIDS generation. Sarah (Emmanuelle Béart) is a children's book author who has just had her first child with husband Mehdi (Sami Bouajila), a vice cop. Sarah's doctor and close friend, Adrien (Michel Blanc), has fallen in love with the much younger Manu (Johan Libéreau), who enjoys being taken care of by the doctor, but prefers a platonic relationship — and instead falls hard for Mehdi. Mehdi and Manu start a torrid sexual affair, but when Manu becomes ill with a mysterious disease, the complex entanglement of the four protagonists — as well as Sandra (Constance Dallé), a prostitute who befriends Manu, and Julie (Julie Depardieu), Manu's sister, who wants to become an opera star — threatens to tear everything apart.
