Sommaire
Johanne and Mario have lost their child when he went missing from their apartment. Two years has passed. The wounds have not healed. Mario no longer lives with Johanne, but they try to bring life back into their relationships through desperate, sad sex, silly games and any small thing that can keep them from the past. Watching this working-class couple's struggle is a young gay man who works in his father's convenience store in the same building as the apartment. He records their activities, and becomes the keeper of their secrets, at the same time, gradually revealing his own desperation. The play is structured as a series of short scenes, like camera snapshots, in which the characters tell their stories, express their fantasies, and respond to the bizarre and violent world in which they live.
