Does anyone know what this film is about?


If anyone has seen it, could you leave a short description? As there's no description on the main page, and I've really liked several previous Christophe Honore films such as Les Chansons d'Amour and Dans Paris (though I didn't especially care for Making Plans for Lena all that much).

Thank you! :)

It's about sexual and emotional relationships: having them, wanting them, losing them, regaining them. Mostly it focuses on the separation of two men, and their time spent apart.

Unfortunately it's indulgent and boring. The film makers obviously enjoy creating images of the male form, but have little or no interest in storytelling. It invites us to be interested in a world of excruciatingly self-absorbed tedious people. I saw it at a film festival, and one third of the audience walked out before the movie finished. I wish I had joined them.
