Louis and Mousse are a wealthy, young, beautiful couple, who love each other and have it all, what one dreams to have in his life. But drug addiction doesn’t let them to be happy and enjoy life to the full. They just can’t imagine their existence without drugs.
One day due to overdose Louis dies. Mousse survives, but soon after her partner’s death she gets to know, that she is pregnant. Completely lost and stricken with grief, the woman sees her life empty and senseless without her beloved. When the mother of the deceased learns, that Mousse is expecting a child, she offers her to have an abortion. Instead of that the main heroine sets off to France and settles down in a remote coastal village, where she looks for solitude and rehabilitation and where nobody disturbs her in her grief. The drug addiction still dominates over maternal instincts of Mousse and doesn’t prevent her from drinking and swigging methadone syrup throughout the film.
Several months later the brother of Louis joins the refugee. The relations which grow between them are rather controversial, taking into account, that Paul is a gay. Besides they are troubled by past and have no future, but still the blood ties are strong and matters a lot for both of them…
