SYNOPSIS
December 31st, at dusk. Florence, 37 weeks pregnant, is preparing for new year’s eve party. Her friends arrive, they talk loudly, they get dressed and dance together before going out. Florence finally changes her mind and decides to stay home. As she lays down, at the sound of the windy night, she thinks about the arrival of a new year, and about her new life that is about to begin.
