A veterinarian cataloguing life's most tiresome people meets a woman who shares his exasperation.
The story
From the day his son is born, veterinarian Henry Sauveur begins running through a long list of people who make life miserable, from an ever-present sister and an excessively talkative mistress to a friend with persistent romantic troubles and someone constantly glued to a phone. He also encounters a pessimistic guest and a woman showing off her knowledge of a pointless subject. Through yet another of these nuisances, Henry crosses paths with Louise, who appears just as exasperated by such people as he is. Their meeting raises the question of whether they can love each other in peace without someone coming along to bother them.
