The main characters are Gilles and Lisa. The aforementioned people got married at one time, after which they lived together for more than a decade. At first they felt good while being around each other, but gradually mutual grievances and resentments began to form.

Each of the spouses wanted to have an ideal life partner — Lisa was looking for a posh lover, who would be with her shopping in her spare time from writing the next picture or detective, while Gilles wished that his wife was not jealous and did not abuse alcoholic beverages (the main character often found his wife hid bottles from the wine). But the man did not even try to figure out the reasons for this passion Lisa — instead, he preferred to periodically quarrel with her.

One day the representative of the stronger sex decided to find out how his wife feels about him, and to this end, he pretends that he allegedly lost his memory after a fall from the stairs. But Lisa begins to use the «disease» in her own way.
