The French romance/drama develops a significant segment in the lives of Noah (Thibaut Cattelin) and Lohan (Jules Bahloul), their characters are portrayed sharing the road for a few days being driven, in the back of pick-up, by friends Rox and Coco who have concerns of their own.
A story told in a loop begins on a Tuesday after Noa, an introverted young engineer who needs to take pills due to a traumatic experience and has visions of a child, wakes up from a nightmare; immediately afterward a conversation with Lohan, the man resting next to him, takes place and the plot, slowly, begins to develop. Lohan is a tattoo artist and an asthmatic who likes to smoke, his vital energy leads and Noah follows.
A bond grows between the two men during the trip, they have fun visiting a church where Noah sits and Lohan confesses his impure thoughts, there is a first kiss after a Karaoke night, and there are arguments while bowling. As days go by they get to know each other while moving from one place to another, providing reflections on their lives and inner feelings. Lohan realizes and says Noah has entered his head like a tumor that doesn´t want to get out.
There are real and dreamy sequences, movie provides little information about the couple that also share the road and the cultural and social environment. Suddenly, Noah knows the trip has come to an end.
