Chronique d'une liaison passagère

Passion is overrated - and certainly has nothing to do with love! At least that's how Charlotte (Sandrine Kiberlain) sees it. For her, tales of passion no longer fit into the 21st century - after all, good sex is also possible without feelings. Accordingly, her first date with married family man Simon (Vincent Macaigne) ends up in her bedroom. He is completely flabbergasted – in 20 years of marriage, he has often longed for non-binding affairs, but has never met the right woman - until now. Pressure to divorce and serious feelings are not to be feared from Charlotte, who is disillusioned with relationships. The two make a pact: pleasure desired, feelings forbidden – only as long as it goes well. Because the secret lovers are not only on the same wavelength in bed, but also let all the covers down in intimate conversations, the hours they spend together become longer, the intervals between meetings shorter. Soon Charlotte and Simon have to face an uncomfortable truth: they may be done with passion, but passion is not yet done with them...
