"Peels away the male sexual ego to show both how fragile it is and how powerful it is, how easily it can override logic and reason."
      -- Jeffrey M. Anderson, The San Francisco Examiner. Read this review.

"A deceptively light story about the emptiness that drives people both into each other's arms, and away from one another."
      -- Leslie Camhi, The Village Voice. Read this review.

Jacques, a handsome middle-aged music engineer, has been married for fifteen years when his wife suddenly leaves him for another man. His resulting depression finds him alone in a hopelessly messy apartment, without a clue what to do with himself. Vulnerable and desperate, he answers an ad for a maid, never dreaming how young, beautiful, and available his new housekeeper will be. Thus begins a sensual May-December romance with plenty of enthusiastic sex, but short on the emotional fulfillment that a middle-aged man inevitably needs.

In French with English subtitles.
