Directed by Pierre-Olivier Scotto

Romance

Film Synopsis

Roman is a comic book artist.  A seductive fifty-year-old, he could pass for Lulu's father, since the young and lively actress is only 25.  But from the moment they first met, they knew they were made for each other.  Five years later, everyone sees them as the perfect couple.  One day, Roman begins to have doubts.  Realising that he may jeopardise his partner's future happiness, he decides, against his will, to end their relationship.  At the same time, Lulu accepts a job in the United States and must leave within two days.  Roman asks her one last favour: to spend a final weekend with him...
