To convince his wife Christine (Kristin Scott Thomas) that there is nothing going on between him and Elena, Lavasseur convinces Francois and Elena to move in together and pretend that they are in love when out in public. As the games begin, tensions increase, and complications ensue–especially when Christine learns the truth and joins in on the "games."
