Angélique makes beautiful chocolates, carefully infused with all the emotion that seems to overwhelm her in daily life. Jean-René runs a chocolate factory that is running out of steam, rather like his own existence. Both seek help from the usual sources: Jean-René favours self-help tapes and Angélique joins a support group, Les Émotifs Anonymes. Romantics Anonymous is an unusual and tender love story in which the obstacles to happiness are not the usual external barriers, but those sneaky little ones we know all too intimately: the ones within.
Año 1970. El certamen de Miss Mundo se celebra en Londres presentado por Bob Hope, leyenda de la comedia estadounidense. En ese momento Miss Mundo es el programa de televisión más visto en el planeta, con más de 100 millones de espectadores. En pleno directo el recién creado Movimiento de Liberación de Mujeres invade el escenario e interrumpe la retransmisión afirmando que los concursos de belleza degradan a las mujeres. Así, de la noche a la mañana, el Movimiento se hace famoso... Al reanudarse el programa, la elección de la ganadora provoca un nuevo gran revuelo: no es la favorita sueca, sino Miss Grenada, la primera mujer negra en ser coronada Miss Mundo. En cuestión de horas, una audiencia global fue testigo de la expulsión del patriarcado del escenario y del nacimiento del nuevo ideal de belleza occidental.
