Toxic affair

Pénélope is a neurotic hypochondriac who feels unloved. Her lover cannot stand her anymore and walks out on her one night. A lost and lonely Pénélope goes to stay with her friend Sophie and tells her all about her woes, anxieties and failed suicide attempts. Though Sophie puts up with her friend, her mind is elsewhere. She knows she is about to meet the love of her life and, by the luck of the draw, Pénélope turns out to be the go-between.
