The 40-year-old university lecturer Sophia [Magalie Lépine Blondeau] is married to the intellectual Xavier [Francis-William Rhéaume], but the passion has subsided after so many years. To renovate a chalet, Sophia comes into contact with contractor Sylvain Tanguay [Pierre-Yves Cardinal], with whom she begins a stormy affair. Although love is the theme of her philosophical lesson cycle, she discovers that love is not so easy to rationalize. It's probably just me, but I don't understand the behavior of these self-righteous snobs who talk a lot, say little, listen even less and don't know what to do with people who don't fit into their narrow-minded world. Chokri uses a nostalgic visual style, but why?

There are some lovemaking scenes in the film. Those two did exactly nothing else. Not that you see much of it as a viewer, by the way. It doesn't benefit the story. A bit simplistic.
I found a few scenes more interesting. He, a craftsman, she coming from a higher educated background. And then you notice when family and friends are sitting at the table, that the gap is quite big. It is also not easy to find your place in it. And in a film everything is fragmented and not very nuanced. But it can certainly play a role in a relationship.
Acting is decent and I also liked the ending. I don't really like those simple happy endings. There can certainly be some drama and that is also the case here when the relationship ends. Good! Because of this, a narrow 3.0*, for the rest it was still too little.
