Weird movie with three plots, all set in the same castle; one is a fairy tale about fighting a dragon, another is an interbellum story about a megalomaniacal aristocrat using his friends as an experiment on happiness, and lastly one where the castle has been converted into a school an there's romantic shenanigans between the teachers.

Only the third of those stories has moments that pass the test. Early on, one of the teachers, Claudine, has an argument with the headmaster, Nathalie, about the conference. However, the interactions between the women further into the movie revolve around a bet on whether one of them will fall for a guy.
