It starts with three men in their early forties, thinking about their lives. Vincent lives with Gabrielle, Georges with Nathalie. They each have a 5 year old boy and they feel like they're suffocating, becoming "bourgeois" and trapped by a society that's forced them to work, marry and have kids… They're jealous of Fred's freedom, the third man, a bachelor who sleeps with pretty girls and has no schedule.
