Melodrama

As young men, Marcel (André Dussolier) and Pierre (Pierre Arditi) studied together at the same musical conservatory. They remain friends as adults, even if their lives have turned out very differently: Marcel is now a noted solo violinist while Pierre is an undistinguished player in a symphony. And, while Marcel has a happy marriage with Romaine (Sabine Azéma), Pierre is constantly on the prowl. This becomes evident when Marcel takes an unhealthy interest in Pierre's wife.
