A charming, self-aware romantic comedy that traces a serial lover's life through his many affairs, blending wistful reflection with playful irreverence about desire and connection.

At Bertrand Morane's burial there are many of the women that the 40-year-old engineer loved. In flashback Bertrand's life and love affairs are told by himself while writing an autobiographical novel.
