Vincent (Damien Bonnard, already acclaimed in Venice in 2024 for Emmanuel Mouret’s film Trois Amies) works the night shift on a construction site in the futuristic district of Grand Ciel. When a worker mysteriously disappears, Vincent and his colleagues suspect that the foreman has hidden the body at the site. Amid unsettling manifestations and a second disappearance, Vincent becomes involved in an investigation that blends suspense with surreal atmospheres.
