Al, a young man from a modest background is about to marry his boss’ daughter, along with succeeding him as the head of a car dealership. One night, while coming back from his bachelor party, he commits a hit-and-run accident, urged by his two childhood friends present in the car. The next day, gnawed with guilt, Al decides to inquire about his victim. What he does not know is that Juliette, a young woman, has witnessed the entire accident from her balcony. She is the one who had called 911 and helped the victim’s wife Véra, a Moldavian illegal-immigrant. But when Juliette recognizes Al as the reckless driver in the Hospital corridor, she is unable to denounce him…
Al, un jeune homme d’origine modeste, est sur le point d’épouser la fille de son patron et de succéder à ce dernier à la tête de sa concession automobile. Une nuit, après l’enterrement de sa vie de garçon, il renverse un inconnu mais, poussé par ses deux amis d’enfance, il abandonne le blessé et s’enfuit. Le lendemain, rongé par la culpabilité, il décide de prendre des nouvelles de l’accidenté. Ce qu’il ignore, c’est que la nuit de l’accident, une jeune femme, Juliette, a tout vu depuis son balcon. Descendue porter secours à la victime, Juliette s’est mise en tête d’aider sa femme, Véra, une Moldave sans-papiers. Mais lorsque Juliette reconnait dans un couloir de l’hôpital l’homme qu’elle a vu s’enfuir après l’accident, elle est incapable de le dénoncer…
