Aging beautician Angèle, already wounded by a long-ago romance, gets awkwardly dumped at a train station. Witnessing how she turns around a humiliating situation, younger sculptor Antoine becomes so smitten that he breaks up with his fiancée and sets out to win Angèle's heart. Meanwhile, Angèle attempts to quash the budding romance of her young co-worker, Marie, and a much older widowed client, despite their obvious rapport.
Directed by Tonie Marshall. Starring Nathalie Baye, Bulle Ogier, Audrey Tautou, Mathilde Seigner and Samuel Le Bihan.
