One day, his sister drags him to the hospital to see her friend who just had a baby. To his surprise, she is none other than his ex-girlfriend Claire (Emmanuelle Devos), who, to his consternation, has named her baby Robert. At home, worried that the baby is his, and that he still has feelings for Claire, and that he might have taken too many Valiums, Robert calls his friend David. The next day, the two meet at a cafe where David warns Robert that, because of his fragile mental state, he should not to talk to the leggy waitress eating in the far booth. Robert sits down with her. It turns out her name is Marie-Pierre (the director's sister, Hélène Fillieres), but she's called Ouch. She's a model, bulimic, and very frank. She proposes to fall in love with Robert to teach him about commitment. He thinks, What the hell! The two begin a flirtation that shows Robert how whimsy and imagination make romance happen. Sophie Fillieres's dialogue is peppered with cheeky remarks and delivered with a mild assurance by the cast, making this timid comedy a delightful gem. [More]
