Plot

Twenty-one-year-old Valentine (Sophie Marceau) is a part-time teacher preparing for her all-important final teaching examinations. She meets Edouard (Vincent Lindon), a jazz musician who aspires to be a composer. Despite their different schedules and career agenda, they engage in a passionate affair. Valentine compares her relationship with Edouard to the dry dissertation of Molière's The Misanthrope in her oral exams at the Sorbonne.

gollark: Devastating life changing events aren't really all that likely, but unexpected somewhat bad or good or just extremely weird ones will crop up with *some* frequency.
gollark: Actually, none of these are "intelligence" really, what's a better word...
gollark: That sounds like possibly excessive pessimism. Intelligence would be coming up with long term plans which are flexible enough to be able to deal with changing circumstances, and being able to execute on them.
gollark: I tend to over*research* stuff in advance a lot, but not actually plan based on it because I would never stick to it anyway.
gollark: I see.
