Four men and four women, all coming from the academic world, discuss their professional and sex lives around a diner, revealing themselves and their society as the evening goes by.

A wry, talkative sex comedy set at the height of ’80s capitalist fervor from Oscar®-winning Canadian auteur Denys Arcand. Mapping neurotic, middle-aged ennui onto its titular socio-political slump, Arcand paints a droll, cerebral panorama of the limits of academia and its accompanying anxieties.
