The ever delectable Nathalie Baye stars as a woman who places an ad to find a sexual partner and meets a man (Sergi Lopez) to act out her erotic fantasy.

When they start to meet regularly, they find themselves falling in love.

This meticulously made, nicely acted and intelligent French romantic drama with subtitles unfortunately tends to be chatty and dreamy, rather than sexy or provocative, producing a soporific effect when it should compel the attention far more.

But it does have a strong whiff of reality and the two star performances are riveting.
