A claustrophobic psychological drama about obsessive love and hidden secrets in a Paris apartment, where intimacy becomes a form of control and mystery.
Ariane lives with Simon in his large Paris flat. Simon is obsessed with her: he wants to know everything about her, secretly follows her when she goes out, asks questions all the time, even in the most intimate moments. Ariane seems to take it all in stride, but Simon realises that she's hiding something.
