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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delicate, character-driven portrait of three lost people circling each other in emotional stasis, finding fleeting connection amid the wreckage of their lives. The film observes their aimlessness with quiet compassion, neither condemning nor offering easy redemption.
