The film follows Iris, a settled dentist who is married and mother of two girls. Her life looks orderly, stable, and free of any obvious upheaval, yet the couple’s lack of desire has become impossible to ignore. When she signs up for a dating app, Iris opens a new chapter that upends her daily routine, her relationship with her body, and the place she holds in her own life.

With this second feature led by Laure Calamy, Caroline Vignal stays in the comedy lane, but trades the landscapes of Antoinette in the Cévennes for a more urban story, focused on female desire, marriage, and the use of dating apps. Vincent Elbaz plays Iris’s husband, while Suzanne de Baecque completes the main cast.

This broadcast on France 2 may appeal to viewers who have followed Laure Calamy's career since Antoinette dans les Cévennes or who are looking for a French comedy centered on a woman confronting the wear and tear of her relationship. The film is less aimed at those expecting a family comedy or a classical vaudeville: the story starts from an intimate subject, the desire within an established relationship.
