- Valentin is a young gay painter who lives in the imaginary world of his paintings. When he finds his grandmother Nina, a Polish Jewish émigré with whom he feels very close, he confesses his lack of inspiration and loneliness. During these few days together in a psychedelic Paris, Valentin expresses more and more the need to know the past Nina always tried to hide.
