Fontaine Leglou, thirty years old, has everything. A job as an anesthesiologist, an unfaithful love who she’ll never leave for the lover who loves her faithfully, a cat and yet…Fontaine isn’t the fearless type. And when her love asks for her hand in marriage, she doesn’t know whether to say yes or no – in any event, she can say yes, but not without no. From then, nothing goes right for Fontaine Leglou. As Billy Wilder said, virtue isn’t photogenic, characters must all have some lousy objective or another in the back of their minds.
