Francis is a young gay man, Marie is a young straight woman and the two of them are best friends -- until the day the gorgeous Nicolas walks into a Montreal coffee shop. The two friends, instantly and equally infatuated, compete for Nicolas' indeterminate affections, a conflict that climaxes when the trio visit the vacation home of Nicolas' mother. The frothy comedy unfolds through narrative, fantasy sequences and confessional monologues.

A sudden crush on the same handsome stranger turns a lifelong platonic bond into a frantic, awkward competition. This tender Montreal comedy captures the messy collision of friendship and unrequited desire.
