Resnais pays loving tribute to the late Dennis Potter (Pennies from Heaven, The Singing Detective) with his first foray in to the musical genre. Odile (Azéma), an upper class businesswoman, finds an escape from her humdrum marriage when an old flame (Bacri) returns. Meanwhile, her sister Camille (Agnès Jaoui) falls for a young realtor while caring for an older man with a passion for history. As in Potter’s work, characters burst into song by lip-syncing to works by Josephine Baker, Maurice Chevalier and Johnny Hallyday. The result is a thoroughly entertaining, romantic roundelay.
