Brigitte and Jonathan are invited to dinner. Upon arrival, they quarrel over a parking space with a stranger. What should have been a trivial dispute soon escalates into a confrontation fueled by the stranger’s unnerving persistence and Jonathan’s growing refusal to back down. As the evening unfolds and the couple breaks away from the confrontation to join their hosts around a warm dinner table, the conflict appears to resolve. Yet a tension lingers, an unease running beneath the humour and slowly seeping into the conversations. The encounter with the stranger has taken on a troubling weight, casting a shadow over the evening and quietly exposing the fault lines within the relationship.
