Meanwhile, a writer, Sarah, and her cop partner, Mehdi, struggle with parenthood. The story unfolds as a plague affects the Parisian gay community, leading to a year of tests, illness, anger, relief, separations, and death. The friends reunite at a summer cabin, reflecting on how their happiness has changed.
