Xavier sidder i New York og skriver en roman... Der handler om en forfatter, der sidder i New York og skriver en roman, fordi hans engelske ekskone er blevet forelsket i en amerikaner og har taget deres to fælles børn med derover. Forfatteren bor i en Chinatown-lejlighed, der ejes af hans lesbiske venindes kone, som er taknemmelig over, at han har været sæddonor til deres barn, og så skal han i øvrigt giftes med en amerikansk kineser for at få opholdstilladelse og har genoptaget sin affære med sin franske ungdomskæreste, som bor hos ham, mens hun har forretninger i New York. Og det er kun en lille del af puslespillet, som udgør Xaviers liv, hvor både Playboy-modeller og tyske filosoffer dukker op på mere eller mindre bekvemme tidspunkter. Men sådan er livet.

This third part of the series started with "The Spanish Apartment" and "Russian Dolls" continues following the life of Xavier and his complications. The cast is the well known and very good from previous parts with the good additions of the children, which perform really well. This part, although shows again the chaotic life of Xavier, feels, somehow more coherent and luminous, as if the pieces would be finally fitting. Maybe the best way of summarizing the series and the conclusion is with the conversation that Xavier and Martine have by the end of the film in which Martine tell Xavier how she cannot get how Xavier feels his life to be that complicated. For her, it is just life as it is. Anyway, a movie to pass a good time, with the spicy addition of the mixed languages and (western) cultures which have always made this series something special, although it is clearly addressed to the 70's - early 80's born western generation with a comfortable economic position.
