This plodding piece of cinematic ambiguity finds a married couple engaged in boring conversation in a window as scenery changes behind them. When they manage to talk about love, some of the tedium is lifted in the wake of their amorous verbiage. This black and white effort from Jean Pierre Lefebvre depends on symbolic impressionism rather than plot.

Two friends are very close in college and in everyday life. During a pursuit between the car driven by one and the motorcycle of the other, an accident occurs; the motorcycle skids and its driver is killed. Karl, the survivor, begins to remember: their tennis games, their mutual friend, their games, their lessons, their holidays and their discussions. The film intersects all these memories to try to identify the deep friendship that bound the two teenagers and takes place in the present of Karl and the friend and in the past of memory. After having done everything to find his friend, even going so far as to dig him up in the cemetery in the middle of winter, Karl, appalled by his "murder", becomes more and more schizophrenic. He enters the hospital and stays there until the end of his days, fixated on this accident which turned his life upside down.

Made during Lefebvre's national tour of Canada for a 1981 retrospective of his films compiled by the Canadian Film Institute, the film is a video diary documenting both his philosophical and creative discussions on the co-operative movement in cinema as part of the tour and the concurrent illness and death of his wife, film editor and producer Marguerite Duparc.
