A story with an interesting premise which goes to the question of whether men are more compatible with other men as friends. Seems obvious probably this is true. And then goes on to the deeper question of whether they would bond rather more intimately, while it still being a platonic interest. This happens while one man is happily married and straight with kids, and the other is a swinging single gay guy. The men in the movie bond to the extent that it even disrupts the married man's sex life. This is taking it a bit far I think, but overall it held my interest. The movie is in French and has a very French tone. It is a very intellectual movie and -- being written and directed by a woman -- not macho or homophobic.
The NYTimes review provides more background and interpretation.
