A bleak, claustrophobic portrait of marital dissolution where emotional starvation and misdirected cruelty consume a couple trapped in a dying house.

Julien Bouin, a former typographist, and his wife Clemence, who used to perform in a circus, hardly talk to each other in their small house, soon to be demolished. His cat Greffier being the only one he still gives affection to, he becomes the object of Clemence's anger.
