Synopsis:
Paul and Agnès have been going out for quite some time, and Agnès is shocked to learn that Paul would rather live with two roommates on campus than move in with her.

Each year the French government filters out students who are potential candidates for high-ranking government positions. They are shipped off to schools known as Grande Ecoles, where they are trained to become the country`s future leaders. It is here that Paul meets his roommate, Louis-Arnault. Paul is strangely attracted to Louis-Arnault without realising so himself. Upon seeing this, Agnès becomes jealous and proposes a bet: whoever gets Louis-Arnault into bed first, wins. If Agnès emerges victorious, Paul may no longer explore his homoerotic yearnings. If Paul nabs the booty, Agnès will simply walk away.

Meanwhile, Paul also meets Mécir, a young Arabic worker, who shows him there is far more to life than elite colleges and study. They embark on an intense clandestine affair as Mécir instructs him in the intimate pleasures of the male body.
