讲述女主跟花心丈夫及一堆情人斗智斗勇的婚姻故事。。现年20岁的女大学生赤间杏里（饭丰万理江饰），在和母亲大吵一架后愤然离家出走。无家可归的她在朋友的怂恿下，通过一款名为“大叔帮帮我”的软件见到了名为栗山航（渡部笃郎饰）的中年男子。栗山举止儒雅，颇有教养，虽然已经成家，和妻子的关系似乎名存实亡。如是看来，栗山也许只是一个专注于和小女生约会上床的变态，但是他并未向杏里提出过分的要求，第一次见面仅仅是收留对方过夜而已。在此之后，杏里发现栗山居然是自己的老师，只不过这个男人给他留下了不错的印象，二人才有了后面的接触。 相较于贪恋小女生的肉体，栗山仿佛只是希望杏里能将其当作“爸爸”看待，他从心灵的深处渴望一份来自女儿的慰藉……。One day, thinking that it will make your wife and friends smile, you shave off the moustache that you have had for the last ten years. No one notices or, even worse, everyone pretends not to notice and your smile soon fades. Before being wiped off your face. You insist but people tell you that you've never had a moustache. Are you going mad? Are people trying to make you think you are? Or has something in the world's order gone awry at your expense? Adapting his own 1986 novel, Emmanuel Carrère – whose books Class Trip and The Adversary became Cannes Competition titles by Claude Miller and Nicole Garcia, respectively – provides a feast of sustained tension as the man's wife and his closest friends deny that he ever had a moustache. Viewers who like their conclusions tidy may rebel, but those who relish outstanding performances in the service of an intriguing idea will be entertained. The film won the Label Europa Cinemas Prize at Directors' Fortnight in Cannes. 一天，你滿心以為給妻子和朋友開個玩笑，把蓄了十年的鬍子刮掉。但可惜完全被人忽視了，或更可悲的是每個人都假裝看不到，很快，你得意的笑容不見了，笑臉再也掛不住。你堅持，但所有人都跟你說你從未蓄過鬍子。莫非你神經錯亂？是否所有人都想令你以為自己瘋掉了？又或者，是因為你的緣故而搞亂了世界的某種秩序？ 本片是導演艾曼雷．卡雷爾改編自他自己一九八六年出版的小說。他的另外兩本小說《 Class Trip 》及《 The Adversary 》曾分別被葛羅特．米勒及妮歌．加西亞兩位導演改編成電影並先後成為康城影展的參選影片。在本片中，因為男人的妻子和老友否認他曾經蓄鬍子而令整個故事維持在緊張的氣氛中。 喜歡結局完整的觀眾可能會感到不高興，但欣賞引人入勝的故事和精湛演技的觀眾則會看得津津有味。本片在康城影展的導演雙週中奪得歐洲電影標籤大獎。 Source: The 34th French Cinepanorama, Hong Kong。
