Description:

Professor Henri Laborit, a leading behavioral scientist, examines how people cope with life's challenges through three interconnected stories. René, a factory manager, struggles with anxiety caused by job cuts and the resulting strain on his relationships. Janine, an actress-stylist who is a keen self-learner, is faced with a difficult choice when she learns her lover's wife is dying, forcing her to make tough moral decisions. Jean, a writer striving for political success, questions his own values in a career that requires compromise and manipulation. The film uses these stories to explore themes of survival, conflict, reward, punishment, and anxiety, all explained through behaviorist theory. It offers a fresh look at how people behave in today's world.
