Synopsis

In Montpellier, Ralf Milan, a professional hitman, is hired to kill a key witness in a major trial. He stays at a simple hotel and is next door to a recently divorced man struggling with extreme anxiety. As Ralf plans the assassination, the neighbor's unpredictable emotional outbursts begin to interfere with his carefully planned mission, risking exposure. Amidst the danger of the assignment, an unexpected connection develops between them as they grapple with their personal difficulties. The film explores themes of loneliness, ethics, and finding a path to redemption against the backdrop of a dangerous plot. It examines the delicate balance between control and unpredictability, questioning whether people are defined by their actions or if change is possible, even in unexpected situations.
