Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Pierre has disappeared. His ex-wife Fanny, their daughter and Maria, "the other", go looking for him. There and at the Grand Hotel de Cabourg with a very young new conquest. Each in their own way will try to flush him out and allow him to come to terms with himself. In the midst of all these women, Pierre Flanche stiffens up, questions himself with his aggressive but aging charm. The finale in the mist of the beach is like the random movement of feelings.
