In the aftermath of a highway mishap, photo model Simone (Pascale Bussières) goes full-tilt existential and decides that conceiving a baby with old flame Philippe (Alexis Martin) is the only way to give her vacant life some meaning. Philippe reluctantly agrees with the proviso that they conceive in a desert.
