Eight men in their forties are caught up in everyday situations revealing their main conflict: a masculine identity crisis. They all share feelings of bewilderment, and their behavior forms a mosaic of emotions men usually don’t reveal.

J. is depressed and he is the perfect victim for psychoanalysis. E. has lost everything and now lives with his mother and his cat. Two years later, S. makes an attempt to win his ex-wife back. With the help of drugs, G. is trying to understand why his wife is having an affair. And the rest of his friends are doing their best with similar catastrophes…

Ordinary men in extraordinary situations are the protagonists of a comic and merciless portrait of manhood today.
