At 39, Elise is single and lives with her sister, a reputable gynecologist, and her brother-in-law, a real estate agent. She takes care of their house and their four children and her life passes by with unchanging rhythm. As long as she can remember, Elise has lived in her sister’s shadow. From the outside, she seems pathologically shy and is seen as a fragile woman, uncapable of getting by on her own. Suddenly, she goes on a quest to find a man on the internet—and this grain of sand will jam the perfectly oiled machine of this family of bigwigs. What could have gotten into Elise? No one can understand it. She claims she needs to live—that’s all. And no warnings, blackmail, or threats will make her give up on the charming antique dealer she’s just met. Little by little, each protagonist’s secret intentions for this meeting that should not have taken place will be revealed, leaving us to regale in the spectacle of mediocre passions, as well as in rediscovering the best in ourselves—it’s a form of redemption, a theme that has become more and more important to Armel Job in his recent works.
