The stories of Nora during a brief period when her father falls ill and of Ismaèl while involuntarily committed to a mental institution for observation. Nora's in her 30s and has loved four men - her son Elias, Elias's deceased father, her own father, and Ismaèl, a musician given to odd behavior with whom she lived seven years. She will soon marry a businessman. Faced with her father's death, Nora seeks out Ismaèl to ask that he reconnect with Elias; a great deal else roils from her past. Ismaèl has his own challenges, not the least of which are his feelings toward adopting Elias and his meeting Arielle, another patient. Ismaèl's surface shows a lot; Nora's, very little.
