Every night for seven years, the narrator scratched the back of the woman who shared his life, telling her a story until she fell asleep.
With boundless energy, he opens the windows of this bedroom, where the passion of the early days gradually gives way to the discovery of a life together, with its disillusions and conflicting desires, but also to tenderness and the will to save love.
In abrasive language, he traces their daily lives, punctuated by passion, dreams and projects that gradually fade away. From their first meeting to their first nights together, from their Parisian strolls to their move in, their couple metamorphoses to the rhythm of a society and a city in turmoil.
