Lucien, in his forties, decides to leave everything behind so as to go and live in the woods. Deep in the heart of a vast mountain forest, solitude slowly reconciles with life and reinforces him. One day Laura, a friend, turns up on his doorstep and attempts to make him return to his former life.

January 2016. The love story that brought me to this village in Alsace where I live ended six months ago. At 45, I am now alone, without a car, a job or any real prospects, surrounded by luxuriant nature, the proximity of which is not enough to calm the deep distress into which I am plunged. I am lost and I watch four to five films a day. I decide to record this stagnation, not by picking up a camera but by editing shots from the stream of films I watch.

The story of a family and a love affair told through the journey of a young woman called Suzanne.
