On a Magical Night

After ending a fling with a student half her age, Maria, a 40-something law professor (an effervescent Chiara Mastroianni) suddenly confesses a long history of affairs to Richard (Benjamin Biolay), her husband of twenty years. Moving out of the family apartment, she settles in room 212 (the movie’s original French title) at a hotel just across the street in the Paris Montparnasse district.
