Benoît, a young provincial, arrives in the capital. He has left his family (mother, wife and child) in his native Charente. But for him, the difference in the standard of living is trying, and he loses his bearings among this crowd of anonymous people. A young woman, Myriam, crosses his path. But the encounter is short-lived, and Benoît returns home. A tragedy has occurred.
