Et si on parlait d'amour... portrays people who talk freely about their sexuality. Residing in Poix de Picardie, a village in the Somme, Bernard, a retired teacher, and his wife Violette, a nurse's aide, form a popular couple in the region who do not hesitate to practice swinging and to organize evenings known as "hot". Cathy, a single journalist from Lyon, collects short-lived relationships while dreaming of a family life. Julien, a salesman in a start-up company, and his wife Sophie, a housewife, confess their infidelity to each other. Daniel and Karine are residents of a home run by the Association des Paralysés de France, which does not prevent them from having a sex life comparable to that of normal couples.
