Written by the director himself, the story focuses on Émile, a literature professor living in Dieppe. On his last day before retiring, he gives his young students one final lesson on literature and love, encouraging them to become the poets of their own existences. One of his female students asks him about his own feelings. Is Émile still in love with his wife? Incapable of answering, he discovers on returning home that his wife has left him, and he subsequently finds himself having to practice what he preaches. But two encounters and a reunion help him to reinvent himself…
