In a modest, “rear window” Parisian apartment building, a hodgepodge of residents gravitate around one another, watching, falling in love, sometimes without actually seeing each other. The brooding and handsome Valentin lives here, torn between his volatile married lover, the three young women up on five who have set their sights on him, the super’s demonstrative wife, and a beautiful Chinese girl from across the street, his heart’s desire.
What is he thinking? What is he hiding? What is he up to?
When Valentin invites his neighbors to a housewarming party, he has no idea he has set in motion a spiral of violent events.
