Synopsis
Léo repairs domestic electrical appliances. He has found an old answering machine with an integrated chip at the flea market. He recognizes the voice “enclosed” in the chip as that belonging to a woman he once knew. He decides to track her down. Jésus is a hired killer. Today he must carry out a contract, just like all the others he’s already executed, but when he is about to shoot his target, he suddenly experiences an existential crisis: What if his work conflicts with his deepest values? Léo and Jésus will end up crossing paths.
