The relationship among three friendly couples turns upside down when two of the men get a job on TV. Their girlfriends leave them, looking for more action in their lives.

The movie follows the life and career of Madame Durocher, first woman to be accepted in the Brazilian Medical Academy.

Set to classical Québecois music and filmed in a colourful, cinematic style, Doux temps explores the sharp contrast between, on one hand, the somewhat routine daily lives of four characters and, on the other, the lyrical sweep of words and music that evoke the amorous passions of the ‘sweet days’ of youth.
