Paul Benjamin is an eloquent ladies' man who doesn't like close relations, he rather escapes before it gets too serious. In case a woman would want more he'd use his profession to get rid of her. Paul works in a break-up agency. They take action if someone wants to end his relationship. The concept is contrary to a matchmaking agency. Paul doesn't have a bad conscience, he sees himself as a message-bearer, not as someone who brings sorrow. Instead he enjoys his job and the acknowledgement of his boss. If Paul finally reaches the prestigious mark of 1000 successful break-ups, he'll receive the long awaited promotion. (Berlinale)
