Five years after their summer together in Barcelona, Xavier, William, Wendy, Martine and Isabelle reunite. Xavier is now thirty. No longer a student, he is not yet a well-balanced, fulfilled adult either. His career is unsatisfying: far from being the renowned novelist he aimed to be, he must be content with little jobs such as reporter or ghost writer. His greatest "achievement" in "literature" is his collaboration to the script of a corny TV soap! His sentimental life is not much better, punctuated by one night stands and unfinished romances.

Lolita is 20 years old, over–weight and under–confident. She is desperate for attention and approval from her father Etienne to the point of an obsession that threatens to consume both her and anyone who tries to befriend her.
