Paulina leaves the apartment where she lives with her two brothers, Nicolas and Olivier. Her departure is mark by chaotic and sometimes brutal confrontations. Thrust into a world of madness and violence (or is it gaslighting?), Paulina is shuttled from a psychiatric institution to a brothel, while her brothers become resistance fighters in some enigmatic version of France.
