When Daniel and Isabelle invite Patrick and his new flame, Emma, to dinner, it’s with some misgivings. After all, Patrick has just dumped his ex-wife — their best friend — to run off with the much younger woman. But when the ravishing Emma appears, all of Daniel’s qualms fly out of the window. He’s instantly smitten with the seductive woman… who inspires more than a few flights of fancy, over the course of their evening together. A Gallic take on The Seven Year Itch, Florian Zeller’s adaptation of his own hit play, L’Envers du décor, offers viewers the rare delight of watching thespian giants Gerard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil face off on the big-screen once again.
