The only rom-com where you'll root for the guy in gaudy shirts doing philosophy-wrestling.
Twice Vincent thinks he has found the woman of his life. Twice his ideal woman left him for the same man: Denis. Now Vincent is pursuing a happy love affair with Anna, but he fears that history is about to repeat itself. He tries to understand his adversary. Just what is it about him that makes him so irresistible to the opposite sex - his taste in gaudy shirts or the fact that he teaches wrestling as if it were a philosophy?
Acting
Eboué's escalating desperation is deliciously pathetic.
Writing
Wrestling-as-philosophy is unhinged genius.
Director
Lionel Bailliu

This is peak 'comédie française' — existential crises played for farce, where male ego crumbles beautifully.
Jean-Paul Rouve based Denis's mysterious magnetism on men he's met who succeed despite having 'nothing special' — the ultimate French nightmare.
