Synopsis

Paris at dusk. A loneliness casts over its damp streets.

A flat illuminates with anticipation as Mireille awaits her date. For Derun, it is not certain he will even survive the night.

More than just a regular interaction of strangers. A rendezvous of evergreen senses. Angst mixed with attraction, trauma met by excitement, strife overrun by escape.
