At 44, Pascal Elbe was diagnosed with hearing loss. A handicap that has a little upset his daily life and that he decided to mention in his third feature film.
Antoine seems not to listen to anything or anyone: his students (who demand more attention from him), his colleagues (who don’t like his lack of concentration), his loves (who blame him for his lack of empathy) … And for good reason: Antoine is still young but lost a lot of hearing.
Her new neighbor Claire, who has come to settle temporarily with her sister with her daughter after the loss of her husband, dreams of peace and quiet. Not from a neighbor as noisy as Antoine, with his music blaring and his alarm clock ringing endlessly. And yet, Claire and Antoine are made to get along!
It is Sandrine Kiberlain who plays the role of Claire and Pascal Elbé himself that of Antoine.
