Synopsis

Simon Eskénazy, soloist and virtuoso clarinetist, is unable to finish his record.
His mother is sick and seems prepared to do anything to persuade Simon to take her into his apartment that is clearly too big and too empty for one man.
But she’s not the only one. His ex-wife Rosalie and their 10-year-old son have suddenly reappeared in Simon’s life. There are his musicians and his agent, the insistent Arlette Grossman who wants to force him to work. There is his current lover Raphaël with whom he dreams of conducting a great love affair.
But most importantly, there is the amazing Mohamed, a young Arab who becomes Rose by night, a waitress at the “Paradise” cabaret. Mohamed is both fragile and violent, loving, funny, proud, arrogant and provocative...
