A couple in Québec deals with the pitfalls, pressure and high expectations of raising kids in a society obsessed with success and social media image.

François, a 50-year-old screenwriter whose career is on the decline, cynically ticks the "transgender" box to secure funding for his latest TV series project. When, against all odds, his plan works and his project is accepted, he finds himself having to portray… Françoise, an author beginning her transition. Unable to fulfill the required role, he must team up with Sarah, a real trans writer. As Françoise, François finally achieves success. He fills his bank account and reconnects with his teenage daughter… but as his deception continues, the price to pay proves higher than expected: his truest bonds are forged around his new identity. Françoise liberates him as much as she imprisons him.

Sophie is a hunted, traumatized woman. Seeking to escape her reality, she lands in an Airbnb hundreds of miles from her home. She is welcomed there by Martin, who occupies the premises with his aunt, Louise. Over the course of drunken evenings, tongues loosen and a disturbing complicity emerges between the man and the traveler... What if Sophie's presence in this remote bled was not so fortuitous?
