Once his university studies are over, Franz Hoozenberger, a very methodical young man from Alsace, who has a symmetrical view of things, begins some tranquil holidaying in the family home aiming to definitively map out his future. As luck would have it, he finds himself in the possession of an old, mysterious 1978 bottle of Gewurztraminer, that’s really rare, with an enigmatic label that carries a perilous message: whoever drinks this wine will gain the ability to exchange, temporarily, their own personality with someone else who voluntarily takes part in the experiment. So Franz now has to find someone who wants to share this strange experience, even though he knows neither of them will remember the effects of this delicious wine. He finally finds someone, who happens to be diametrically opposed to himself. What can ever have happened, 15 years later, when Franz suddenly decides to review what became of his life and marriage, after that interchange of personalities?
