Viviane would like Eric to put a ring on her finger. The latter inexorably refuses. Norbert, his best friend and upstairs neighbor, has just married Rose, but seems to regret it. The eternal debate on marriage leads to a war of the sexes.
Eric, a 14-year-old boy, is now almost alone. His mother, faced with her husband's bizarre behavior, left the marital home. Eric's father, for his part, leads a triple existence. On the other hand, he maintains apparently normal relations with his son, but at the same time he leads an unacknowledged, secret life "elsewhere", where confused, equivocal relations bind him to a strange, elusive woman, whose vision sometimes inspires feelings of filial love, sometimes reveals to him the bitter taste of a passion faded by time.
