Parcours d'amour
How many rounds you do have to spin on the dance floor until all your
dreams come true? Eugène, Gino, Christiane are already past their prime. But that doesn't stop them to search for love and
sex with the same intensity of people wearing braces not clinical crowns. Almost every day, they meet in dimly Parisian dance
clubs named “Memphis” or “Chalet du Lac” and express their desire for living a life in togetherness through dancing. And if
prince charming is reluctant to appear the well-heeled ladies spend some money for lessons with “Taxi Boy” Michel. In search
of love, both men and women overcome nearly every obstacle, even if in many cases it doesn’t bring them any closer to their
goal.
