An amused and impertinent chronicle that shares with us a few months of the life of independent art house cinemas with demanding programming. The film talks about freedom, independence, possible alternatives to multiplexes and programmed normalization, the role of the spectators in a process of resistance that is growing and takes us far beyond the cinema.

Aline is Michel's daughter, whom he has taken away for the holidays. Aline agrees: she knows how much her father needs love. She knows it so well that she encourages his romance with Julie, a social worker. And Michel succumbs because she feels just as great a need for love as he does. But Léo, Julie's ex-lover, a junkie and car thief, is hanging around. Three adults in need of love. A need that Michel wanted to fill first with Aline, then with Julie. But the void is too great. Aline knows this, and that's why she agrees to love him, her father. For real, this time.
