在这部温柔的爱喜剧片中,Victor (Jean-Pierre Cassel) and Suzanne (Genevieve Cluny) are a couple at odds about commitment in this light, fast-paced comedy-drama by Philippe de Broca. Suzanne needs more reassurance from Victor about the future of their relationship. He is a painter with an inspired creative side who finds it difficult to understand Suzanne's point of view. They are happy together; what is the problem? So when a friend comes into the picture and proposes to Suzanne, Victor suddenly realizes that Suzanne was right. Without a formal commitment, the suddenly insecure man does not like the view from the opposite shore...
Victor takes life lightly. Jolly and offhand, he has been a very pleasant companion to Suzanne for two years now. But the young antique dealer is not satisfied with Victor's lightness any longer. She wants more. To marry him and to have a child from him for example. But the superficial young man would rather things went on unchanged. He had better beware though: François, their serious-minded neighbor, is also in love with Susan and seeing Victor shying of his responsibilities, he takes advantage of it to propose to her...
