Summaries

Two twenty-something women dream of the ideal man and slowly realize that reality is very different from their fantasies.

Isabelle, a naive dreamer, and Virginie, a very direct pragmatist, both work at a Montreal film production company called B&C Films. The young women meet one day at work and quickly become friends despite their differing opinions concerning men. Isabelle is a hopeless romantic but Virginie has an aggressive attitude towards the male sex in general yet both women dream of finding and having the perfect man. Despite seeing themselves as modern women against the marginalization of their sex by the men who run society, they lose themselves in their dreams of romance that closely resemble those of Hollywood and the media. Several ideal romance options are depicted and there is strong contrast between their fantasies and realities. Isabelle becomes obsessed with Jean-Jacques, a married man and doesn't realize there is no possible future with him...—pr1mal_1
