Film from la Splendide cafe theatre comedy troupe. Engaging characters and dialogue about romantic longing particularly through the eyes of a couple who are in love but experimenting with separation and Michel Blanc's socially inept desperado, trying far too hard for a date. Support is from the staff romantics and casanovas. The action takes place mainly in the club and at the holiday camp's beach. Well directed by Patrice Leconte who also worked with Michel Blanc on the adaptatuom of Georges Simeon's Monsieur Hire novel. Spawned various sequels that took the Splendide team next to the mountains in Les Bronzes Font Du Ski.
