- Synopsis
- Romain Faubert is alone going on 40, has no wife and no children. His profession as a photographer
  for an online medical dictionary does nothing to alleviate his acute hypochondria, which for too long
  ago has been the ruling element in his life, reducing him to a bundle of fear and neuroses. The internet elicits compulsive Google searches that start out with little aches and pains and inevitably wind up
  with results on metastasized cancer. This does little to assuage his phobias about germs and disease.
  His one and only friend is his general practitioner, Dr. Dimitri Zvenka, who upon first meeting Romain
  made the fatal error of actually liking him a state of affairs he now bitterly regrets. Romains psychosomatic problems are an endless source of trouble and Dimitri would give anything to get rid of him once and for all, especially now that he has become quite the intrusive patient. Romain often invites himself to sleep over at Dimitri’s house, which is really starting to get on the nerves of the doctor’s wife.
  However, Dr. Zvenka thinks hes found a remedy, one that will usher Romain Faubert out the door forever - help him find the woman of his dreams. He invites him to parties, signs him up for online dating, gets him to work out and even coaches him on his seduction techniques and ways to interact with women.
  But finding that rare jewel, someone who can tolerate his idiosyncrasies and who, out of love, will help him overcome his hypochondria, turns out to be more of a challenge than it first seemed.
