Impromptu (1991)
Toen Sand Chopins muziek hoorde, wist ze het meteen: die man moest ze hebben. Voor hem was ze zelfs bereid om met roken (van sigaren) te stoppen en om iets vrouwelijks aan te doen (ze droeg meestal mannenkleren). Chopin wist in het begin niet wat hij met haar aan moest, maar net zoals veel andere mannen kon en wilde hij toch niet om haar heen. Lapine vertelt in een eigentijds idioom over het 'wel en wee' van twee achteraf gezien nauwelijks verwante zielen: vanaf de kennismaking op het kasteel van gravin d'Antan (Emma Thompson) tot aan de misère van een gezamenlijk verblijf op Mallorca.
