WHATEVER (Extension du Domaine de la Lutte)

Not everyone can be a winner in
the sexual revolution.

Take Our Hero (Philippe Harel), a moderately successful and well
paid computer programmer who
lives alone, and has had celibacy imposed upon him for two years.

When he is sent around France to teach company personnel the latest IT systems, he is
partnered with Raphael Tisserand (José Garcia), a badly dressed but ever-optimistic virgin
of 28.
But, after a romantic assault on the opposite sex in a Rouen nightclub ends in hopeless
failure, the two men decide that the time has come for the sexual underclass to fight back.

Based on Michel Houllebecq's novel, which established him as one of France's most popular new authors, 'Whatever' is a savagely funny and sometimes poignant look at modern life and sexual politics.
