Plot summary
Isa drifts through the summer looking for a man she met, and when that search goes nowhere she lands in a small town near Lille, where she meets Marie. The two young women, both working short-time jobs in a textile factory and handing out leaflets, become close, and Marie asks Isa to share the apartment she is looking after. The owners died in a car crash; their teenage daughter, Sandrine, lies in a coma. Bouncers Fredo and Charly befriend the pair, though the men are no better off. Marie, already involved with Charly, turns to Chriss, a rich nightclub owner. Isa refuses her own casual arrangement with Fredo and reads Sandrine's diary aloud at the hospital, while Marie grows dependent on Chriss.
