Spoilers ahead
Jeanne, Anne Teyssèdre, a young philosophy teacher, cannot go back to her Paris flat because her cousin Gaëlle, Sophie Robin, is having a rendezvous with her boyfriend Gildas, Marc Lelou, who is in the military. Even her own boyfriend’s apartment is left in a poor state, save for a vase with some fresh flowers, so she decides to head to a housewarming party instead.
At the party she meets Natacha, Florence Darel, a younger music student, and the two women quickly strike up a friendship. Natacha invites Jeanne to stay with her, offering the father’s bedroom since he’s usually at his young girlfriend’s place. The next morning, Igor, Hugues Quester, comes by to pick up a few clothes and is surprised to encounter Jeanne just after her shower.
