English Synopsis
In the throes of a painful divorce, the thirty-year-old literary critic Marc Marronnier (Gaspard Proust) is convinced that love only lasts for three years. So convinced is he that he writes a whole novel on the subject. By a strange irony of fate, just at the moment when his book is accepted by a famous publisher, he falls madly in love with Alice (Louise Bourgoin), who leaves her husband for him. The novel, Love Lasts Three Years, is published under the nom de plume of Féodor Belvédère. Marc does everything he can to hide his anti-love pamphlet from Alice, but the truth outs when he is awarded a literary prize.
Résumé en français
Dans les affres d’un divorce pénible, le critique littéraire Marc Marronnier (Gaspard Proust), trente ans, est persuadé que l’amour ne dure que trois ans. Il en est tellement persuadé qu’il écrit un roman entier sur ce thème. Ironie du sort, juste au moment où son livre est accepté par un éditeur célèbre, il tombe fou amoureux d’Alice (Louise Bourgoin), qui quitte son mari pour lui. Le roman, L’Amour dure trois ans, sort sous le pseudonyme de Féodor Belvédère. Marc fait tout ce qu’il peut pour cacher son brûlot anti-amour à Alice, mais la vérité éclate quand il reçoit un prix littéraire.
