The story, written by the director, revolves around Victor, a disillusioned sixty-something whose marriage is on the rocks, and whose life is turned upside down one day when Antoine, a brilliant entrepreneur, suggests he take a different kind of amusement ride: by blending theatrical trickery and historical re-enactment, the company allows its customers to return to the time period of their choosing. Victor thus opts to relive the most memorable week of his life: the one when, 40 years earlier, he met his true love...
