- Plot: Hubert is the talented editor-in-chief of a major Parisian magazine. He seems to know everything about everything and to have a solution to every problem, at the risk of appearing a little haughty. He has managed to make a place for himself in the sun, unlike his old friend Papinou. Papinou reminds Hubert by sending him a long letter that takes him back into his past. Papinou has just met by chance at the exit of a cinema Sabine, a woman that the two friends coveted. From this chance meeting, memories flow, from the time when Hubert was a small provincial freelancer, Papinou a restaurant owner and president of the local soccer club, and Sabine a young girl in flower, naive but curious about the world. But neither Papinou, nor Hubert, nor even Sabine, have the same point of view on these memories.
