In 1990s Paris, married couple Sammy and Emma move into an apartment above reclusive HIV+ Cyril’s photography studio. Celibate since his diagnosis, Cyril tries to resist the undeniable pull between him and Sammy. As they succumb to temptation, Emma simultaneously befriends Cyril and the three form an unconventional makeshift family.
