Plot
Pierre has been happily married for fifteen years and a good father. Still in love with his wife, he enjoys his wife and family and is content. One evening, he meets Elsa at a party and are immediately attracted to each other. Fifteen days later, they happen to meet again and the mutual attraction turns into infatuation. But his love for his wife and Elsa's rule about not dating married men prevents them from taking the next step. Instead, they fantasize about each other, and soon the fantasies mingle with the reality.
Successful criminal defense attorney Pierre (François Cluzet) has been married for 15 years. He and his wife Anne have a happy marriage and two children. One day, a friend takes him to a book launch, where he is introduced to the author Elsa (Sophie Marceau). From the very first moment, the two feel attracted to each other. But it remains at the flirting stage; they don't even exchange phone numbers. Pierre doesn't want to jeopardize his marriage, and for Elsa, a mother of three who is on the verge of divorce, a relationship with a married man is out of the question. So they return to their everyday lives, but the intense encounter continues to affect them both. They can't stop thinking about each other. Two weeks later, they meet again at a party. The mutual attraction is still there, but Pierre has come with his wife. He and Elsa agree to leave their next meeting to chance. But is it really possible to ignore such desire and not act on these strong feelings?
