JC (François Damiens) is a prison guard. He is an ordinary man with an uneventful life. His only extravagance is tango dancing, once a week. In class one evening, he dances with a newcomer, Alice (Anne Paulicevich), who is in her 30's, radiant and the mother of a 15-year-old teenager. The next day, he sees Alice again in the prison visiting room. She has come to visit two inmates, Fernand (Sergi Lopez) and Dominic (Jan Hamenecker), age–old friends and "partners-in-crime": One is her husband, the other her lover. JC, the ordinary man, finds himself as a spectator to the all too eventful life of this
uncommon woman. A woman who lives according to her desires and according to her own rules, divided between her men and her son. Prison regulations prohibit socializing with inmates' families... JC is about to break all the rules that have defined his life.
