Plot summary
A rare disease has left Tom and Lola, a young boy and girl, unable to come into contact with the outside world, so each is kept inside a plastic bubble in a Paris hospital. Doctors picked for the task run the aseptic ward, where an old black and white television showing programs about whale song, trains and The Adventures of Tikira in Alaska supplies nearly all the children's stimulation. Catherine, Tom's mother, stays at his side constantly, and her efforts to keep him amused have estranged her from the pair almost completely. Hélène, who works on the ward, is the closest thing they have to a parent; besides her, the brother and sister are attached only to each other.
