Synopsis
An aging painter is consumed by a secret that obsesses him: the abandonment, ten years ago, of a large painting which was to be his masterpiece and of which his wife was the model. The arrival of a young couple in his property in the South will allow him to resume this work and it is the young woman, who this time, serves as his model. During the five days of installation, the tension will rise between the different protagonists.
