Despite the reluctance of her partner, a teacher is preparing to welcome home the principal of her high school, a man troubled by enigmatic intentions. Very quickly, while the boundaries between the intimate and the professional blur, the discomfort settles. What does he want to talk about so urgently? For what purpose?

A suspense behind closed doors loaded with unsaid explosives, orchestrated in a single sequence by a master of contemporary German dramaturgy, carried for this creation in France by a distribution with striking alchemy.
