A seemingly ordinary day in the life of Quentin, a Parisian film-lover. After going to the cinema twice, he runs into a former college friend, listens to a girls' conversation in a bar, then goes and meet his best friend, has a beer, and ends up spending the evening in the Parc Montsouris, where he meets Lise.

In the Afternoon Shade

The day after she meets Quentin, Lise joins Jade, her roommate, at a farm in the countryside where a small festival of sorts is being held.
