The film centres on Armand Dorion (Jocelyn Bérubé), a shy, self-conscious man who works as a handyman; after he is hired to do some work for Thérèse St-Amant (Andrée Pelletier), a married woman who turns out to be as shy and self-conscious as him, the two begin a love affair.[2]
The cast also includes Marcel Sabourin as Georges, Armand's gay roommate who works as a limousine driver and has unrequited feelings of his own for Armand.[3]
