Full plot (contains spoilers)
Two French secret agents, Muriel and Philippe, are tasked with finding a USB drive containing information about a uranium smuggling operation. On the orders of their haughty section chief, they enroll in the operatic singing class taught by an opera singer in her Paris apartment. Constance, the smuggler’s widow, also attends the class, and she alone knows where the USB drive is hidden. Muriel and Philippe have an affair, but Philippe quickly tires of his partner, who is constantly worrying about signs of aging. Neglected, Muriel takes a closer interest in a fellow student in the singing class, Julien, a gigolo who sleeps with Constance’s sister-in-law, Noémie, as well as with Reza, a gay bear. She discovers that Noémie and Reza, whom she knows to be a terrorist, are in cahoots.
