Your beautiful hell
Yann, a photographer and recently divorced, meets Alicia in a bar. Attracted at first sight, they soon engage in an affair. When Alicia leaves her husband and moves in with Yann, power struggles ensue. Thilda, Yann's 12-year-old daughter who lives with his ex-wife, instinctively blocks Alicia, who lives out her mood swings in borderline mode. Yann tries to escape the situation by taking up with Tabea, while Alicia quits her job and resumes an abandoned psychology degree. But she parties all day with drugs and is also involved in other affairs.
As Yann’s relationship with Tabea grows closer, he tries to break away from Alicia, who in return tells him she is pregnant. Their fights come to a head. Psychological abysses without a filter. Both gradually steer into depression until the moment when they surrender to each other in exhaustion…
