In this modern musical, young and uncommitted Jeanne (Virginie Ledoyen) spends her days as a single woman in France by going on a succession of dates with various men, but never really finding much joy in her promiscuity. But one day, an encounter on the subway changes her entire love life and outlook on dating when she meets her one true love, Olivier (Mathieu Demy) -- a man who happens to be HIV-positive.

This odd mix doesn't work, nor do the Demyesque song-and-dance numbers, which are musically unmemorable.
