Camille, a young woman from a bourgeois background, is bored with her life. Seeking intensity, she decides to give her love – not to the most attractive man, but to just anybody. To someone she thinks is in need of her. Like Costa, a roamer who lives in a bunker and at first glance is neither worthy of loving nor capable of it. Fascinated by Camille, a policeman follows the two. Doillon’s signature is unmistakable: the focus is on the dialogues, on the gestures, gazes, as well as on the acting.
