A dead husband who only his wife can see? The French have mastered ghosting.
In love, there are miracles that cannot be explained. Even after thirty years of marriage, Suzanne and Julien are still madly in love with each other. A happy, close-knit couple. Suzanne is an actress adored by the public. An adoration that sometimes goes as far as fetishizing her young tenant Simon. For her return to the stage, she hesitates to act in Max's new play, specially written for her. What Suzanne wants is to be alone, for just a moment longer, with Julien. Julien whom she loves and who loves her, Julien who grumbles and laughs, Julien who lives but whom no one sees or hears. Except Suzanne...
