Alice Fogère is what we call an unhappy woman. Prisoner of herself and of a partner, Geoffrey, unbearable to the point of being violent.

He, the former prince of the student campus, the girls' favorite who had cast his beautiful gaze on little Alice, finally showed himself in his true light: mythomaniac, mediocre, odious. To flee, were it not for the scruples, the bad conscience that Alice displays, morbidly: she wants to help him because, it seems, he never ends a childhood marked by abuse.
