In an elegant and monotonous apartment in Brussels, the life of a widowed mother and housewife unfolds routinely between caring for her home and tending to her son. Jeanne, a woman in her 40s, adheres to a strict daily schedule that includes meal preparation, meticulous cleaning, and attending to her son's needs, who seems a bit distant and uninterested. Her life is marked by the monotonous repetition of tasks, from shopping at the market to doing laundry, all while a dark secret looms behind that tranquil facade.
As the days go by, the camera becomes a silent witness to Jeanne's life, gradually revealing her growing frustration and the pressure she feels to maintain her perfect home and care for her son. However, the routine spirals out of control when she begins to experience moments of overwhelming anxiety, and her seemingly perfect life starts to crumble. The tension escalates, and Jeanne becomes entangled in situations that blur the lines between the ordinary and the disturbing. The film explores the emotional and social burdens faced by a woman trapped in the mandates of femininity, while the story takes the viewer on a haunting journey toward an unexpected climax. In this masterpiece of auteur cinema, time stands still, and Jeanne's anguish becomes an elegant reflection of loneliness and sacrifice.
