Full plot (contains spoilers)
Véra, a young lawyer from Montpellier, is stranded in Paris because of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Staying and working remotely alone in the apartment of her friend Hortense, who has taken refuge in the countryside, she seriously injures her head by hitting it on a cupboard door. She then calls for help from Sam, a friendly young neighbor she has met in the neighborhood. He rushes to the pharmacy to buy supplies to treat Véra’s bleeding head, bypassing the long outdoor queue required by physical-distancing rules. As he dresses her wound, a passionate affair suddenly begins, which, thanks to the lockdown, will continue throughout this very unusual period.
