Misanthropic novelist François writes gripping crime stories – “Agatha Christie meets The Scarlet Pimpernel” – but outside of the swashbuckling imaginary world of his Marquis la Rose-novels, life is far from thrilling. His partner Colette, a professor at the Sorbonne and world-renowned expert on Alfred Hitchcock, is tired of watching François sit around their apartment in his pyjamas and yearns for the excitement of the classic films she watches with her students. When Colette begins to suspect their flamboyant actor neighbour of murdering his wife, the couple’s mundane lives are turned upside down – and their stale relationship is jolted back to life.

Claudia is an unlucky and fatalistic young woman. During an esoteric event in a bookstore, a disturbing apparition in an aura photo will turn her day and her friend Antonia’s upside down.

Alma, a young Parisian, juggles between her professional life in a palace and a complex love life. Combining love, humor and sensuality, this French romance depicts today's romantic and friendly relationships through the eyes of a generation that is connected, open, demanding and in search of meaning.
