Daphné, pregnant to François’s child, takes on unexpectedly hosting his doleful cousin, Maxime, at the couple’s country house, all while François has been called back to the city on an emergency. These two strangers will open up to one another, sharing personal stories of romantic woe that will gradually merge into an interconnected universe of sentimental absurdity. A bittersweet dramedy, tinged with farcical pinches and non-judgmental attitude, which contemplates on love’s randomness and pettiness.
