What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Two distant cousins meet at a wedding banquet for an elderly couple. Over time, a close friendship develops between them, but their spouses begin to think that they are more than just friends.
