Helene, a pill-addicted anesthesiologist, is mourning the death of her boyfriend when, through a car accident she causes, she chances to meet the lethargic Gilles, a young man who lives for free at his mother's hotel. Gilles pursues Helene romantically, and she eventually softens up. Gilles, however, is also devoted to Bernard, a petty crook who revels in mugging gay men. All three struggle with relationships that seem to be going nowhere.
A heavy, introspective mood permeates this character study. It feels like a slow descent into the messy, often bleak realities of damaged people seeking connection in a world that offers little solace. Expect a brooding, somber experience.
