Story

Synopsis

Igor lives in an apartment that he shares with Sabine, who uses and sells drugs. Igor, who also uses drugs, provides her with a roof over her head in exchange for her needs, but he is also in love with her. As drugs become scarcer, their life becomes more difficult. One crazy night when he goes looking for her, he has an accident and ends up in the hospital with a broken leg. During his hospitalization, Sabine is arrested and imprisoned. At the hospital, his family discovers that he is HIV-positive and that he is using drugs. His mother decides to take the problem in hand and takes him to the countryside for several months to get him out of his world. For a while, they are very close, but then slowly the space between them begins to grow again. Tired of the countryside, Igor returns to Paris, looking for an apartment and to resume his life.
