A long time ago, Mylène was in love with Paco. Together, they have painted the town red, until they got caught during the robbery of a jewelry shop in Spain. Mylène never saw Paco again as he was stabbed in his prison-cell.
Today, Mylène is free. She works in a second-hand shop in the Parisian suburbs, and lives in an attic room. Sometimes at weekends, she rents a flat somewhere else, and dreams about a new life for herself. The one she could have had if she hadn't made the mistakes she did.
But this weekend, Mylène isn't dreaming. In the caravan she has rented, everything reminds her of Paco: the furniture, the objects... his picture is even hanged on the wall! As impossible as it seems, she feels she is in his home...
