Engrossing, erotic and sometimes comic, L'Ennui tells the story of restless philosophy professor Martin (Charles Berling), tired of teaching and troubled by the happiness of his ex-wife (Arielle Dombasle). His mid-life crisis takes a turn when he meets the young, enigmatic and far from intellectual Cecilia (Sophie Guillemin), with whom he embarks on a sexually charged affair. Enlisting his ex-wife as a reluctant confidante, Martin claims he is bored by Celilia, yet continues to see her, fascinated by her uncomplicated attitude toward love, life, and sex. But, upon learning that Cecilia is also seeing a much younger man, Martin's desire becomes tainted with jealousy and eventually becomes an uncontrollable obsession that threatens to consume him.
“A tale of enigmatic sexual obsession...dynamic and fascinating” - Time Out.
