For a while now, Alain has been locking himself in the family basement where he conducts unclear experiments on amphibiens. Louise, in response to her husband's behaviour, embarks on a quest for new sensations, and finds herself a lover. Pierre-Louis, their 20 year old son, is dealing with consumption problems and a very singular existential crisis. In result of Alain's absence, the relationship between Louise and Pierre-Louis solidifies in quite an unusual way.
