Synopsis

When Leo finds out that his girlfriend Louise is pregnant, the prospect of starting a family and the commitment this involves, sparks off a smouldering hatred of himself, perhaps also because the relationship has no future. He becomes more aggressive, but is incapable of giving voice to his anger. Only the violence he so passionately detests speaks a sufficiently clear but tragic language.
