Set in the Parisian publishing world, an editor and an author find themselves in over their heads, as they cope with a middle-age crisis, the changing industry and their wives.

Born in Paris in 1955, Olivier Assayas started out as a painter and graphic designer. He began making his own short films while pursuing his interest in globalising culture and technology as an editor of "Cahiers du Cinema" (1980-1985).
Since his first feature film, DISORDER, which was awarded the Critic’s Week Prize at the Venice Biennale (1986) he has consistently delivered a rich and diverse body of works that has brought him international recognition. SUMMER HOURS (2008) was named one of the “Best Films of the 21st Century (so far)”, by the New York Times.
Olivier Assayas also published a few books including a collection of his essays on film, a biography of Kenneth Anger and a series of conversations with Ingmar Bergman.
