Sophie žije pohodlný, byť trochu nudný život se svým partnerem Xavierem. Dokud nepotká Sylvaina, ani jí nenapadne, že v jejím životě chybí vášeň. Při náhodném střetu profesorky filozofie a pohledného stavaře však nejen že přeskočí jiskra, ale vzplane celý les. Sophie je brzy postavená před rozhodnutí, zda dát přednost svému srdci, nebo intelektu.
A peaceful partner life without sex is better than a relationship where there is passion and arguments. That's what Xavier thinks, but as it soon turns out, his long-time partner Sophie doesn't quite share the opinion. One afternoon, she cannot resist the electrifying attraction of self-confident maintenance man Sylvain, hired to renovate their weekend house. What follows is an instant sexual understanding, an explosion of suppressed desire. Under the direction of Monia Chokri, the film about love turns into a razor-sharp tragicomedy, which offers a fresh look at the shortcomings of monogamy, as well as making the woman the subject through whom we experience eroticism and sensuality in the film.
