The behavioral theories of a French philosopher are played out in two interrelated stories. Nicole Garcia is a young actress having an affair with an older businessman. She is tricked into breaking up with him by his wife. They meet years later and discover the truth. Gerard Depardieu struggles in his relationship with a new coworker taking over his job. Forced to move to another city, he begins to have problems in his relationship with his wife and family. Fairly standard melodrama, not helped by emotionless performances and some silly scenes where the actors are wearing rat costumes to symbolize that they are nothing more than lab experiments.
