Gaspard (Melvil Poupaud) is a young, handsome, completely self-absorbed musician holidaying in Brittany. Awaiting the arrival of his not-quite girlfriend Léna — more a “habit of coincidence,” he clarifies — Gaspard begins courting the affections of sweet, smart, ethnology student Margot, and then Margot’s smitten friend. Léna, of course, shows up, pushing the romancer to choose between his three surprise suitresses.
