People talking. It really comes down to appreciating the characters, as you'll be spending a hefty amount of time with them. I say "appreciating", the characters are pretty unlikable (I'd probably go for detestable) and I'm going to be most people wouldn't care having friends like them.
The plot is virtually nonexistent. Alexandre is a self-absorbed guy who dates several women at once. He is particularly attracted to Marie, a slightly older woman, and Veronika, a young and liberated spirit. When they meet, they talk endlessly about stuff, which is pretty much all there is.
I didn't care one bit for the conversations. They felt forced, bland and pseudo-intellectual. The cinematography is a bore, the soundtrack negligible and the performances are pretty weak too, considering we're supposed to be watching these three people for more than three hours straight. I'm sure there's an audience for this, I'm clearly not it.
