Brief synopsis

Paris, and already winter. Sarah and Jean love each other. They have lived together for several years. Their love makes them happy, strong. There is mutual trust, and the desire never died down. One morning (by chance?) Sarah crosses paths with François who introduced her to Jean. And it is François she left for Jean without hesitating.
