Although engaged to be married, when she finds out that Louis is dying, Nora decides to ask ex-husband Ismael (Matthieu Amalric) to adopt Elias–whose own father died before he was born–so that Elias will not be alone if she dies. But Ismael is holed up in a mental hospital. The story cuts between Nora and Ismael and their past and present dilemmas as they try to put together a plan for the future.
