Synopsis:

Stephane and Maxime run a well-respected violin making and repair business. When man-about-town Maxime falls in love with violin virtuoso Camille, Stephane - whose only attachment is a platonic one with a bookshop owner - takes his own interest in this new girl in Maxime's life and in her music-making. Camille gradually becomes attracted to him, but finds his cold lack of response by turns puzzling and irritating. Bit by bit the odd ménage-à-trois becomes set on a collision course.

Claude Sautet's restrained masterwork about a brilliant violinist (Emmanuelle Beart of La Belle Noiseuse) who falls deeply in love with a violin maker, re-igniting passions and emotions he has long denied. Claude Sautet's delicate melodrama examines the emotions and consequences of a love Triangle and features superlative performances from Emmanuelle Beart and Daniel Auteuil

You should mention that there is a hidden irony in this film. The character Stephan is based on the personality of the composer Maurice Ravel, who, like Stephan, had a heart in winter and was unable to form a romantic attachment to a woman.
