Synopsis

Drama. Gerard and Hélène have been married for five years and are due to fly from Orly to a new life in Buenos Aires. Suddenly, Gerard decides he needs to be alone and informs his wife that their marriage is over. Gerard assumes Hélène will return to her home town and get a job, but she decides to stay at the airport since she already has all her belongings with her. Hélène begins to make friends with the airport staff, including Marco, a café worker. However, when her money eventually runs out, she is forced to consider the extreme option of becoming a prostitute.
