Synopsis

Fontaine Leglou is an anesthetist in an upscale sanatorium. Beautiful and in her early 30s, she loves her job and she loves Michel, her long-term, live-in boyfriend. So why, when he asks her to marry him, does Fontaine hesitate over the answer ? She can’t make her mind up whether it’s YES or NO. Why does his proposal, which should delight her, send her into such a spin ? Maybe it’s because Fontaine is not indifferent to the charms of Philippe, who happens to be one of her patients and a doctor as well.Maybe it’s because Fontaine is both pretty much content with her life and quite a bit confused.Whatever, she’s going to have to say YES or NO in the end…
