Plot

-It is of certain lives as of these "dreams in equilibrium" that a single gesture, the slightest event, however commonplace they may be, may come to shatter. This is how Michele can not open the door that has foolishly closed on her, preventing her from helping her child who has just spilled a pot of boiling water on him. It is thus also that the city, which had been forgotten and watched over, with its judges and doctors, guarantors of public order, will intervene. Indeed, the parents, David and Michèle, brother and sister, "terrible children", that their house will not be enough to protect, will have to face this city which will tear them to each other following the trial which sends Michèle at the psychiatric hospital. Certainly, destiny is never so cruel that it overwhelms us without mercy. For David, Yan, met at random by the road, would perhaps be the agent of this pity if Michele, exhausted after so much unnecessary care at the psychiatric hospital, did not return to the house where the inexorable, the memory await her and remorse. Gradually, we see Michele back the breadcrumb trail of her guilt, until the day when the house will no longer prevent him from seeing the city. The city that is waiting for Michèle "recovered", while Yan is already far away and David keeps the house as the incurable keeps the room, with for only companion what remains in his memory of this forbidden love that wanted to unite everything, but that the house could not defend against the city ... just could she prevent him from seeing her.
