先是睡眠，然后填饱肚子，再来是性欲，这是人类生存三大生理基本需求。然而，生活的基本需求会是什么？ 黛安有美满的家庭，有成功的事业，但是她总觉得内心有一个部份是空的。因此当年轻性感的艾米里欧对她示好，她立刻像燃烧一般疯狂投入这段婚外情。然而艾米里欧对这段关系并没有那么认真。当一切都结束时，黛安失去家庭，失去情人，也许还失去了女人一生中最后一次真心去爱的机会。她足不出户，与整个世界切断关系，但是很少人能真的一直自暴自弃下去。那么在颓废之后呢？Diane, a Parisian of 50, a book editor married with two teen children, has an affair with a twenty-something engineer. He's Emilio, the flat-mate of François, a writer she's coaxing through a second novel. Her husband Philippe, who suspects and then confirms her infidelity, is the attorney defending an older neighbor who stuck a fork in her husband's jugular. We know Diana's affair will end, but how much damage will it do? Will Philippe emulate his murderous client, or will Diana's bathos play out as farce? Can Diana rescue herself from the self-indulgence that comes with lovesickness?
