Film Synopsis

Forty-something divorcee Marithé Bressy works as a careers adviser at an adult education centre, freely dispensing help and encouragement to others who are keen to change their jobs and discover their true vocation in life.  With redundancies in the region rife, she has no shortage of attentive clients.  These include Carole Drissi, the dutiful wife of an extremely talented workaholic chef, Sam.  It isn't a new profession that Carole most craves, however, but a new partner.  Marithé gets to check out Sam for herself when she pays a visit to the gourmet restaurant where he performs his culinary marvels.

Anxious to keep her private ambitions from her husband, Carole introduces Marithé as one of the friends she has made at the local gym.  Marithé finds Sam's manly charms as hard to resist as his mouth-watering cuisine, and so she soon finds herself in a very awkward position as she tries to take charge of Carole's future.  What she doesn't yet know is that Carole is using her to conceal from her husband the fact that she has a secret lover.  The situation becomes even more complicated when Sam sets about opening his second restaurant...
