50-year-old Alexandre Schmid has arrived at a stage in his life where nothing excites him, neither his job as an architect nor his marriage with Aliénor. On vacation in the Lago Maggiore region of Italy, the couple meets Goffredo and Lavinia, a brother and sister who are very close. Because Lavinia suffers from a strange disease, Aliénor feel drawn to her. Meanwhile, Goffredo, who is very interested in architecture, follows Alexandre to Rome, in the footsteps of Francesco Borromini, the great architect of the 18th century.
