Mais l’histoire ne fait que commencer au fil d’étapes émaillées d’incidents divers…

(In this romantic comedy from France, Annie (Bernadette Lafont), a middle-aged single mother who hasn't seen her grown-up daughter Marie (Lio) in years, has just been shown the door by her boyfriend. Given her bad luck with men over the years, Annie ought to be used to this by now, but sadly that's not the case. Annie turns to her high-strung sister Francoise (Bulle Ogier) for support; as it turns out, Francoise has her own problems with men, since she's convinced that her husband is being unfaithful to her. Since Francoise's hubby is supposed to be at a business conference held at an ocean resort, Annie and Francoise decide to drop by in hopes of catching him in the act. Upon arrival, the sisters make friends with CriCri (Michele Laroque), a hotel manager who can't stand her husband, and Dizou (Maaike Jansen), a 60-something maid who happens to be very happy with her marriage. Personne ne m'aime was written and directed by Marion Vernoux, who won the French Academy of Cinema's "Best First Film" award for her effort.)
