Synopsis

Alain approaches forty, but it can still choose, neither to be defined, nor to like. It multiplies the outlines of adventures with partners of the two sexes, and is confined, professionally, in a role of pleading lawyer of second category of the businesses without interest. He works for the cabinet of Laurence, old friendly and cold " working girl" , which would like to marry it. Tried, Alain agrees to sleep with it, to test their agreement. It is a half-failure.

In addition, disturbed by the beauty of one of its customers, Marc, condemned to perpetuity for murder, Alain agrees to badger the boyfriend with this one, Babette, so that it comes to see it in prison. Babette does not want to hear any more of Marc. On the other hand, a reciprocal desire, and unvoiced comment, settles between it and Alain. For him, it agrees to go to the prison. The interview is a disaster.

Alain Marie finally with Laurence, who is pregnant of him. But they continue to live separately, and Alain puts himself in household with an young man, Christophe. At the time to start a connection with Babette, Alain conceals itself. This one will end up being let allure by a ex-prisoner that Marc had sent to assassinate it. Laurence is confined of a little girl. Noting its absence of maternal instinct, she proposes to entrust the child to Christophe and Alain.
