Sophie (Magalie Lépine Blondea), a 40-year-old philosophy professor, has been living with her partner Xavier for ten years. Their relationship is intellectually stimulating and stable, if somewhat passionless. However, when Sophie meets rugged carpenter Sylvain (Pierre-Yves Cardinal) – the strapping working-class contractor renovating their country house – an intense physical chemistry erupts between the two. It fuels a passionate affair and leads Sophie to question her life choices and her prior assumptions.
