Synopsis Claude and Marie have been married for 15 years, and they’re a loving couple. One night, as they make love, Claude realizes that his erections are not wthat they used to be. Yet his desire is strong as ever… Summary I’d been thinking about coming back to a personal film for a long time. People encouraged me, and I was touched by their efforts but I wasn't really motivated. My life as director, producer and art lover isn't very interesting as a movie. Then a spark lit up in the spring of 1998, when rumors began to circulate about that pill. For me, Viagra is just a comic device in the film. I hope people will see "La Débandade" like one of those Italian comedies from the '70s that I so loved.
