In Le Week-End, a couple – married for 30 years – spend their wedding anniversary in Paris. However, the romantic city soon becomes a backdrop to their increasingly bitter disputes about the state of their marriage – and their lives. But, as they gradually become part of the rhythm of the city - its cafes and monuments – the tension that has burdened them fades as they re-discover the playfulness and anarchy of their youth. Their melancholy dissolves in a sense of delight in irresponsibility, and gives them a new lease of life.
