Who lives solo? All of us shall live solo at least once in our lifetime. Today being single is a way of life. One third of the population in Western cities lives alone. This historical trend is irreversible, as the solos have unknowingly become social innovators. The Market avidly targets this new breed of consumer.

Who are they? What are their dreams and regrets?

From Montreal to Paris, from New York to Vancouver this daring and humorous documentary presents men and women reinventing themselves day by day, along with a wide range of specialists from sociologists to love coaches.

With Kathy Berliner and Natalie Schwartzberg, psychotherapists; Jean-Claude Kaufmann, sociologist; Claude Cossette, advertising consultant; Guy Corneau, psychoanalyst and Bernard Arcand, anthropologist.
