Sophia’s curiosity about infidelity — which she first projects on her husband when the couple learn about a friend’s recent divorce — grows into much more when she meets Sylvain (Pierre-Yves Cardinal), the strapping, plaid-adorned contractor tasked with fixing up the couple’s country home. Opposites attract here — she’s the brains and he’s the brawn — and they quickly begin a tumultuous affair. But Sophia has a hard time reconciling the reality of their differences, especially when they introduce their family and friends to one another, and their disparate political leanings and varying viewpoints become comically apparent. As their affair continues, the tension between their different worlds comes to a very uncomfortable head.
