After enjoying an evening of clubbing and a twilight swim, Yanis incites Sonia and Fafou to sneak into a villa. Once inside, they unexpectedly meet the owner, Kateb, a writer, sitting in a wheelchair. Kateb proves to be manipulative and mysterious. His interaction with Yanis unveils the true facts of this young man’s past, similarities mysteriously connected to the villa owners’ latest book.
