Isabelle Huppert stars as Lola, a novelist in her mid-30s who is involved with two men, her long-term lover, David (Bernard Giraudeau), an architect, and Tom (Hippolyte Girardot), a rock musician. David is married to the unstable Marianne (Lio), with whom he has two children, and Tom is married to Elisabeth (Laure Killing), who is unaware of his relationship with Lola, and they also have children. Lola struggles to keep her heart and her sanity intact as everyone involved in this roiling quagmire of love and need begins to seek out some kind of solid ground. Director Diane Kurys (PEPPERMINT SODA, ENTRE NOUS), who shares with her protagonist a reputation for drawing heavily on personal experience in the creation of her art, makes LOVE AFTER LOVE a daring exploration of the consequences of survivors of the 1960s and 1970s living out the values of their youth.
