It tells the story of Luc, a young man kidnapped by an elderly, mentally unstable neighbor named Clement, who keeps him captive to serve as his 'friend.' The film is notable for its unique blend of horror, drama, and musical elements, creating a tense atmosphere filled with suspense and surrealism. Despite being directed by Haïm in his feature debut, the film has not gained widespread recognition.
