Plot summary
Tridan Lagache has spent his whole life at Club Med, changing friends every 8 days. At 50, he resigns from the vacation spot where he was born, determined to track down his great mini-club childhood love, Violette. He shows up in Paris, naïve and lost but glad to be lodged by Louis, a half-brother he never knew he had. In order to be rid of the cumbersome Tridan, Louis passes one of his fling off as Violette, and Tridan, all emotional, thinks he recognizes her at first glance.

This show is extremely engaging and heart-warming. I
Going back ... not just in time
No pun intended - this has two of the best current comedians France has to offer. And also Gainsburg as a catalyst or whatever you want to call her. She really goes out - knowing her role and what she means to the story. A story that is comical but also quite tragic to say the least.
Interesting concept and I reckon close to Past Lives - only that the main character here actively tries to remedy a "mistake" he made back in the day. There is one big hurdle he will not be able to overcome - does it matter though? And no worries we learn about that quite early on - important part of the story.
Our two "heroes" really go for it. I assume a remake (US and otherwise) is imminent ... to say the least. Until then we have this and can have quite a lot of fun.
