Fresh out of university, Fabrice joins the Ministry of Finance.
One evening, at a party, he meets three women. Three personalities, three ways of loving, three different languages. He develops a unique relationship with each of them: attraction, uncertainty, complicity. But before long, what once seemed obvious begins to unravel.

The young man gradually begins to uncover fragments of the same mystery. Urged on by his best friend and confidant, whose advice is ambiguous, he embarks on a strange investigation into who he really is.
What is happening at 21 Place des Vosges, in the flat whose view fascinates him?
What does he write at night, by the light from the square, inventing words that will never appear in dictionaries?
What is this mathematical formula discovered by his friend, which supposedly holds the key to his true nature?
As the certainties of his student days fall apart, Fabrice finds himself alone, face to face with his own identity, with only his words to guide him – words that conceal as much as they captivate...
