Victor lives in Vienna with Annette, and their daughter Pamela. It is spring time. Victor avoids getting any work done by spending his days, and sometimes his nights, out of the house. Very much attached to him, Annette trusts that he will get his act together once they move back to Paris. But in France, Victor doesn’t give up his bad habits. After a violent argument, he moves in with a junkie with whom he has fallen in love. Annette leaves Victor and disappears with Pamela. Eleven years later. Pamela is seventeen. She lives in Paris with her mother. One day she learns that her father lives nearby. She decides to see him again.
