A morally fraught rural romance that uses flight and pursuit to explore identity, desire, and the gap between fantasy and reality.
43-year-old Armand Lacourtade, a man who sells farm machines in the country, is getting sick of his homosexual life. When he encounters a young girl called Curly, he changes sides. Chased by her parents and the police, they brave all dangers to live this forbidden love and become an odd couple. But is it really what Armand dreamed about?
