When Esther (Marina de Van), a sweet and self-conscious young woman with a good job and a steady boyfriend, falls and suffers injuries to her leg, she gradually becomes obsessed with her own body and skin to the point where she is aggressively carving wounds in her own flesh. Her boyfriend, Vincent (Laurent Lucas) is understandably concerned and angry, but his inability to understand her disturbed psychological state forces Esther into further isolation and torment.
