It's the end of summer vacation for Amin. The young photographer spends cozy evenings with Charlotte, the ex-girlfriend of his Casanova cousin. She talks to him about literature, he photographs her. Nobody knows that they see each other, especially not Ophélie, his childhood friend, who instead confides her troubles to Amin : her father wants her to take over the family farm, her fiancé Clement will return soon from Iraq for their wedding, she is pregnant with Tony's baby, and Tony wants to keep their affair secret instead of having a serious relationship. Ophélie constantly contemplates her choices : would it be better to get an abortion in secret and marry Clement or to follow her maternal instinct and keep the child, perhaps seeking refuge with Amin in Paris?

Trivia
After being received with mixed to bad reviews, the movie hasn't been shown outside the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. Abdellatif Kechiche is supposedly working on a new Cut, but Pathé, the French distributor, hasn't set a release date yet. On Twitter, fans have created the hashtag #ReleaseTheKechicheCut, hoping to see the film's unedited version, similar to the famous hashtag #ReleaseTheSnyderCut which erupted after the troubled release of the Hollywood film Justice League (2017).
