A boy who, during the day, enjoys the beach, the sun and a beautiful vacation with friends. But, in the distance, the fleshly body of a stranger rests on a rock... A boy who, at night, switches to the side of fantasies, of the erotic prohibition which repels as much as it fascinates... When Abdellatif Kechiche’s cinema meets those of Yann Gonzalez and Bertrand Mandico, it gives a whole new world. A portal behind which, be careful, the monsters are unleashed.

Esther, a highly anxious 23-year-old, has accepted a second date with Romeo, her colleague at the Temple de la Gaufre.

Julie and Mathieu, soon after meeting for the first time, embark in a quest across Paris to stop one of Mathieu’s pupil at school from doing anything stupid after finding a troubling love letter. Inside Mathieu’s old little car, the two characters mix like oil and water, with the math teacher’s carelessness for others not going so well with Julie’s larger than life personality. The more Mathieu discovers some fragility under Julie’s exuberance, the more the two become inseparable.
