Eight men in their forties are caught up in everyday situations revealing their main conflict: a masculine identity crisis. They all share feelings of bewilderment, and their behavior forms a mosaic of emotions men usually don't reveal. A merciless portrait of 8 modern men and the women in their messy lives... Therapy is turning bipolar J. into the perfect psychoanalytical subject. E. is back living with his mother after choosing his cat over his girlfriend. Adulterer S. makes an awkward attempt to win back his ex-wife Elena. Various meds may not be helping G. understand why his wife is having an affair, while L. needs to clear up the confusion over the names of his wife and his dog. Married man P. will be humbled after shamefully putting the moves on colleague Mamen at an office party. And Maria and Sara teach their tight-lipped husbands an ironic lesson about openly discussing feelings. Love them or hate them, the familiar behavior of these 8 men in their forties creates an amusing emotional mosaic: the mystery of the masculine identity. (official distributor synopsis)
