A chance encounter between two strangers is the catalyst for a surprising connection in Alex Lutz’s romantic drama which he not only co-wrote and directed, but also stars in. One night, in a crowded Parisian metro station, Aymeric (Lutz) accidentally bumps into Nathalie (Karin Viard) as they enter the train. A volatile argument ensues, to the amusement of their fellow passengers, but sparks fly along with the insults and soon the pair are staging an impulsive rendezvous in a photo booth. On a whim, they spend the night together, roaming the streets of Paris while discussing life, love, marriage, and everything in between.
