Luc is a brilliant young architect with a budding reputation. Opinionated, charming, and confident, he lives with his beautiful wife in the stunning countryside of Quebec. Luc’s seemingly-perfect life begins to fall apart, however, when he meets and falls for a mysterious woman during a business trip. Caught in a triangle of emotions, Luc puts everything in jeopardy to pursue his affair, threatening to destroy the life he has built and the woman he loves.
"Denys Arcand fashions a commandingly leisurely pace that allows us to follow these people who walk a tightrope separating ecstasy from misery." —Slant Magzine
