Every love affair is the consequence of some trivial event. A car makes its way through the streets, the candles on its dashboard announcing what its driver soon confirms -- it is his 40th birthday.

To celebrate, he has decided to instigate a revolution against himself.

His first act is to summon each of his four lovers, who are unaware of each other, to join him at the dance studio where we assume he is a tutor. 

His revelations to the women prompt a discourse about love and the fleeting nature of happiness.

But when he comes to the fourth and final woman, he finds that his own philosophy of love is not as easy to apply as he had presumed.
