Brigitte and Jonathan are invited to dinner. Upon arrival, they get into an argument with a stranger over a parking spot. What begins as a trivial clash gradually escalates into a confrontation, fueled by the stranger’s unsettling persistence and Jonathan’s growing stubbornness.
When they finally join their hosts at a warm, inviting table, the conflict seems to be behind them. Yet a tension lingers—an unease that bubbles beneath the humor and seeps into the conversation. The encounter with the stranger has opened a rift, casting a shadow over the evening and subtly exposing the cracks in the couple's relationship. The encounter with the stranger opened a rift, casting its shadow over the evening and quietly revealing the cracks in the couple's relationship.
