Radio presenter Sara (Juliette Binoche) and Jean (Vincent Lindon) are in love, and have been living together for a decade. When they first met, Sara was in a relationship with François (Grégoire Colin) while Jean, then a pro rugby star, was married with a son. Despite the rocky start, their relationship has been relatively secure ever since.

One day, however, François returns to Paris and contacts Jean seemingly out of the blue. He is starting an agency for sports stars and asks Jean to come work for him as a talent scout. It’s not long before things spiral out of control and Sara finds herself caught between two very different men. But who does she love?

Packed with passion and superbly acted by two powerhouse actors, this blazing love story from director Clair Denis is a treat for fans of French cinema.
