The celebrated, but alcoholic, violinist Simon (Christophe Malavoy) collapses at a concert he has organised with his friends and his wife Laura (Jane Birkin). Isolated and despised, he takes further refuge in addiction. One intoxication follows the next. In a bistro he meets Pierre (Jean-Louis Trintignant), a dry alcoholic. On Pierre's advice, Simon joins a therapy group. He realises that he has to completely reorganise his life. Pierre helps him to tackle his problems, but also brings new ones into play: his wife Laura, who has tried for years to persuade her husband to undergo therapy, feels set back by the sudden change of heart. She jealously follows the growing strength of her husband, whose new friend Pierre is also a thorn in her side...
