Synopsis:

Romain Faubert is forty years old, unmarried, has no children. His work as a photographer for an online medical dictionary exacerbates the pathological hypochondria which has guided his existence for far too long now, and which has turned him into a neurotic who's afraid of everything. His only true friend is his GP, Doctor Dimitri Zvenska, who once felt fond of his patient, but who now bitterly regrets this. The imaginary invalid is difficult to manage and Dimitri would give anything to get rid of him for good. Doctor Zvenska thinks he's found the remedy to gentrly give Romain Faubert the shove: he will help him find the woman of his dreams. Dimitri invites Romain to evenings in his home, signs him up on a dating website, forces him to do some sport, and even coaches him on the ways to seduce and behave with women. But finding the rare gem who is able to stand Romain and to cure him of his hypochondria through love proves more difficult than expected.

Romain Faubert is alone - going on 40, has no wife and no children. His profession as a photographer for an online medical dictionary does nothing to alleviate his acute hypochondria, which for too long ago has been the ruling element in his life, reducing him to a bundle of fear and neuroses. The internet elicits compulsive Google searches that start out with 'little aches and pains' and inevitably wind up with results on 'metastasized cancer'. This does little to assuage his phobias about germs and disease. His one and only friend is his general practitioner, Dr. Dimitri Zvenka, who upon first meeting Romain made the fatal error of actually liking him- a state of affairs he now bitterly regrets. Romain's psychosomatic problems are an endless source of trouble and Dimitri would give anything to get rid of him once and for all, especially now that he has become quite the intrusive patient. Romain often invites himself to sleep over at Dimitri's house, which is really starting to get on the nerves of the doctor's wife. However, Dr. Zvenka thinks he's found a remedy, one that will usher Romain Faubert out the door forever - help him find the woman of his dreams. He invites him to parties, signs him up for online dating, gets him to work out and even coaches him on his seduction techniques and ways to interact with women. But finding that rare jewel, someone who can tolerate his idiosyncrasies and who, out of love, will help him overcome his hypochondria, turns out to be more of a challenge than it first seemed.

Romain Faubert is a 39 year old, single, medical photographer.. and a raging hypochondriac. His doctor and only friend Dr. Dimitri Zvenka, thinks he knows a cure for Romain: dating. But with the arrival of freedom fighter Anton Miroslav, everyone might get more then they bargained for...
