The story

Sébastien, an introverted and shy 20-year-old, moves from La Baule-Escoublac to Paris to live with his father. Hoping to remake himself, he adopts the name Zack and sets out to change his life. Yet memories keep drawing him back to the previous year and to Romain, his best friend. When Romain calls to say he is in Paris for an internship, the two arrange to meet in the Luxembourg Gardens. Their reunion reveals a distance between them: the closeness they once shared has faded, leaving Zack to face the changed terms of their relationship and the past that continues to occupy his thoughts.
