Eva is 19 years old and lives in a small town. One night she causes an accident in which a woman loses her life. Eva, terrified, runs away and no one learns of the dynamics of the accident, not even Bruno, a 45-year-old French man who is the victim's husband. Overcome with guilt, Eva begins to date Bruno while hiding her true identity from him, in a relationship that will lead them to free themselves from their suffering.
