SUMMARY : Marie, a schoolteacher, and Paul, an advertising model, are a seemingly uneventful couple in their thirties. But Paul, narcissistic and emotionally distant, no longer feels any carnal desire for his partner. She suffers as a result, and her frustration leads Marie to cheat on her partner with Paolo, whom she met in a bar. This adventure upsets the young woman and pushes her into a series of fleeting relationships, then to indulge in domination/submission games with Robert, the principal of her school, a man in the prime of life.

ABOUT THE FILM : A powerful work on the theme of sexual frustration, ROMANCE created controversy upon its release, particularly due to the on-screen presence of Rocco Siffredi (actor and director of X-rated films). ROMANCE nonetheless remains an auteur film, in which we find established actors including François Berléand (CAPTAIN CONAN) and Sagamore Stévenin (MICHEL VAILLANT), as well as Caroline Ducey (THE DARK ROOM).
