A love story takes a surreal turn when the daily life of a young couple literally falls apart.

On the morning of his birthday, Marco (Emmanuel Schwartz) discovers the cake Polo (Léane Labrèche-Dor) has lovingly made and left for him on the kitchen table. He also notices that every object in the kitchen has been battened down with tape and twine as if to safeguard against an oncoming storm. What begins as a beautiful morning for the young couple takes a surreal turn when their world literally falls apart around them.
