Serious as Pleasure (French: Sérieux comme le plaisir) is a 1975 French drama film directed by Robert Benayoun.

Synopsis

Ariane, Bruno et Patrice vivent ensemble d’amour, d’eau fraîche et de plaisir. Pour leurs vacances d’été, ils partent au hasard en voiture sur les routes de France au gré de leur fantaisie. Les rencontres qu'ils font sont aussi insolites et surprenantes que leur relation tripartite : un désespéré couché en travers du chemin voudrait finir ses jours en réinventant la mort du Christ, un amoureux esseulé attend au milieu de la route son amoureuse inconnue, une dame toute de blanc vêtue portant ainsi le deuil de son défunt mari noir.
