Synopsis

Fanny works as a bookseller while carrying feelings for her friend Louise that she does not believe can easily become a relationship. Attempts to distract herself through unsatisfying encounters with men do little to resolve the attachment. Hosting a literary gathering offers a reason to invite Louise into her world, turning a professional occasion into a possible opening for something more personal. The short film follows the gap between outward activity and an emotional life that remains centered on someone apparently unavailable. Fanny must interpret the evening without knowing whether her hope is shared. Her situation asks how long a person can live around an unspoken desire, and whether creating an opportunity for closeness also means becoming ready to hear an answer she cannot control.
