An empty, flat field, recently ploughed. An exotic-looking motel. Alice, a young, pregnant woman, on her way to Trois-Rivières, stops and checks in to the motel. She asks for room 30. We see her sink into pure introspection, a state of blind melancholy. In another room, in the same motel, parallel to Alice’s soul-searching, we see a well-groomed and discrete young man preparing for suicide.
