About

Sophie lives a comfortable though somewhat boring life with her partner Xavier. Until she meets Sylvain, it doesn't occur to her that there is no passion in her life. But when the philosophy professor and the handsome builder have a chance encounter, not only do sparks fly, but the whole forest catches fire. Sophie is soon faced with the decision of whether to put her heart or her intellect first. Sophie's choice this time is: would you rather have an earthy, sexy craftsman with racist tendencies, or a salon intellectual you can't shake but don't have to be ashamed of in front of your friends…? Quebec director and actress Monia Chokri's inte­lligent romantic comedy delivers a touching and funny spectacle where Plato and Schopenhauer encounter a red library.
