Sophisticated French comedy-drama from the director of the Oscar-winning short Omnibus… Writer Simon Polaris has stopped working and now focuses on catching flies. He loses interest in his kids. He confronts his wife’s lover. He becomes fixated on his analyst’s watch, worn by Kennedy when assassinated. He hides a gun in his desk. He bites his dentist. Poor Simon will somehow get through this mid-life crisis in his own humorous way – no matter how crazy that might seem to those around him.
