Having turned thirty-three, unemployed artist Arman (Vincent Macaigne, A WORLD WITHOUT WOMEN) takes up jogging and quite literally runs into twenty-seven year old art student/gallery assistant Amelie (Maud Wyler, BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR) in the park. Captivated by her, he maintains his health regiment if only to run into her again by chance; but fate waits to throw them back together in a manner that ends up with him stabbed by a mugger and in the hospital. While he convalesces, Arman and Amelie become close, but he can't quite find an organic way to cross over into a romantic relationship (even as they sip champagne on the balcony of a spacious apartment borrowed by him from a friend abroad). On the same day that Arman is released from the hospital, his thirty year old best friend Benjamin (Bastien Bouillon) inexplicably suffers a stroke and himself goes through a period of convalescence during which he falls for his speech therapist Katia (Audrey Bastien). As the four vacation at a chalet in Switzerland, the doubts of Arman, Amelie, and Benjamin come to light for each of them. Arman feels a growing distance from Amelie, who is pregnant but unsure of her capacity for motherhood rather than Arman's for fatherhood. Although he dismissed his hippie sister Lucie's (Pauline Etienne, BLACK HEAVEN) warning that his stroke was a cosmic warning, Benjamin has developed anxieties over his sudden awareness of his mortality (not the least bit helped by the presence of Katia's musician cousin Jan [Thomas Blanchard, THE PORNOGRAPHERS] who has thrice attempted suicide over a soured love affair), sending him into a dalliance with his former physical therapist. When Benjamin, Katia, and Arman - having left things in the air with Amelie - go to the country for Christmas with Benjamin's family, they (and Amelie who is with her own family) must confront the realities of their relationships and how they fall short of their expectations.
