Alain hopes to have a baby with his wife Anna. However, Anna believes she is destined to become a famous pianist rather than a housewife and mother. Everything changes when they adopt a female puppy named Bambou. After successfully passing an audition, Anna leaves on a concert tour with a world famous conductor. Being apart takes its toll on the couple and they decide to break up. Alain finds himself alone, without a wife or a baby--just a dog, that he is not sure he wants to keep.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Didier Bourdon directed himself here after decades as one-third of comedy trio Les Inconnus, explaining the self-aware haplessness.
The 'career wife abandons family' trope gets a rare gender flip in French cinema, though the film can't fully commit to making Anna unsympathetic.
