When Marie, an introverted young athlete, collapses and is forced to rest, she decides to move in with her new boyfriend in his flat in Left Bank. Their passionate relationship seems to be helping until she discovers that the previous tenant of the flat disappeared mysteriously. Marie begins to doubt whether she can really trust her boyfriend. Life in Left Bank starts to become an alienating nightmare. Slowly, Marie loses her grip on reality.
Lorsque Marie, une jeune athlète introvertie, chute et est forcée au repos, elle décide d’emménager avec son nouveau petit ami dans son appartement dans le Left Bank. Leur relation passionnelle semble l’aider réellement, jusqu’à ce qu’elle découvre que l’ancien propriétaire de l’appartement a mystérieusement disparu. Marie commence à se demander si elle peut vraiment faire confiance à son compagnon. La vie à Left Bank, qui semblait précédemment être une ville de rêve, commence à devenir un cauchemar. Petit à petit, elle perd le contrôle de la réalité.
