SYNOPSIS:
How many rounds you do have to spin on the dance floor until all your dreams come true? Eugène, Gino, Christiane and their friends are already past their prime. But that doesn't stop them to search for love and sex with the same intensity of people who are wearing braces and not clinical crowns.
They meet in Paris daily in dimly dance clubs, which are named "Memphis" or "Chalet du Lac". There they express their desire for living a full live in togetherness through dancing. And if prince charming is reluctant to appear the well-heeled ladies spent some money for lessons with "taxiboy" Michel. Michel dances with them for money - and behaves like a real gentleman, too. In search of love both - men and women - overcome nearly every obstacle, even if in many cases it doesn’t bring them closer to their aim.
