Synopsis

A German family lives in a suburb of Paris, the husband works there for a German company.
Their marriage is not unhappy at all, the relationship is even a rather deep one. But one day, as the man returns from a business trip, his wife asks him to leave her, without giving any reason.
He obeys without questioning her. The film now explores the loneliness that begins for the woman, the child and the man – in ordinary, every-day life. What an adventure!
