Téo is a lonely medical student who divides his time between caring for his paraplegic mother and dissecting cadavers in anatomy class. At a barbecue he reluctantly attends, he meets Clarice, a free-spirited young woman who dreams of becoming a screenwriter. To make her boyfriend jealous, Clarice kisses Téo. For her, it was just harmless fun. For him, it was the spark of a passion that, after repeated rejections, quickly turns into kidnapping and brutality.
