On n'est pas là pour s'aimer

Frédérique Letheil, who heads the research department of the Emmerson oil group, has sacrificed her private and sentimental life to her experiments. The management, which sees her work as a financial drain, has her unjustly dismissed by the group's general manager, Maxime Vergnaud. When the company realizes its mistake and the economic and ecological potential of Frédérique's research, it asks Maxime to bring her back at all costs.

Directed by Daniel Janneau, On n'est pas là pour s'aimer leans on a strong ensemble — Véronique Genest, Pierre Arditi, Robert Charlebois — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2000.
