At forty, Nag, a prostitute, is confronted with the most difficult
decision of her life. She is not getting any younger and she must
choose between two men - a cop who is older than her or a male nurse
who is younger. She meets the latter, Hervé, when she ends
up in hospital after a violent altercation with a man. Obsessed
with age and death, Hervé falls madly in love with Nag and
discovers a whole new world...
