FRANK (42) sets himself on fire at his workplace in protest against the indecent working conditions imposed by the company. At the base of this tragic event, two stories begin.
The first story is about Frank’s wife, LÉA (38) and their son VICTOR (10). When she learns that her husband has committed suicide, Léa goes on holiday with Victor, to whom she does not reveal that his father has died.
In the second story, we follow IGOR (59) an employee of the company. He discovers Frank's body and steals the protest letter written by him.
