　　Joseph Fulton, a well-regarded fifty-eight-year-old director of romantic comedies, wants to become assistant groundskeeper at a local cemetery. He wants to work outdoors and be close to nature. Meanwhile, he thinks it’s important to have his last will and testament drawn up. But his highly dramatic actress girlfriend thinks he must be dying and that he is just too brave to tell anyone. The rumor spreads and soon everyone he knows—and some he doesn’t—are crowded into his small apartment to say their last farewells.

 这是一位始终以两性关系、婚姻道德为主题的电影作者，这部获得奥斯卡最佳外语片的《掏出你的手帕》也不在例外。关于影片，布里耶是这样解释的：“表面上看这是一部怪诞的电影，但实际上这是一部彻底颠倒道德标准的片子，不过表现得比较委婉且具有魅力。如果仔细观察就可以看出，所有的道德价值都被颠倒了，所有的道德传统都被抛到了一边。人物的思想状态正处于一种极端混乱的时期，今天你也许还不会把妻子当作礼物送给别人，但也许将来你就可以做到了。”
