Storyline
Pierre and Benoît have been best friends for 20 years. During that time, Pierre has relied on his charisma, oddness, boldness, and a genuine talent for pleasing people. Meanwhile, Benoît has focused on achieving success, supporting his boyfriend, patiently waiting for love to find him, and pursuing a practical lifestyle. Marie is introverted or low-key and believes she knows what she wants. She falls in love with Pierre, but marries Benoît. The question arises, how does one confess their deep love for their wife to their best friend?

“If your publisher is jumping up and down at the thought of your novel, it's because he's picturing the movie poster on the side of the bus.”
