Poussé à l’extrême, quelles sont les conséquences de toujours se positionner en relation avec les autres en correspondance à l’imaginaire qu’on se fait de leur désir ? Alex, jeune photographe, est en continuelle séduction. Il lui faut plaire à tout le monde sans jamais avoir d’idée à lui, de passion à lui, ni surtout de conflit. Son existence est d’une impressionnante vacuité, toujours dépendante de l’impératif de plaire. Retenu à Montréal, il a une aventure avec une journaliste, Marie, puis avec la compagne de son meilleur ami. Celle-ci, Sara, est sourde. Son handicap fait ressortir celui de Alex, qui est moins apparent.
