Lea is about to give birth. She has everything ready... to get rid of the child. But when the "thing" becomes a flesh-and-blood being, everything is quickly called into question...

She drove me into a corner, then forced me to go beyond my limits. She made me confront the absolute: love, sacrifice, tenderness, abandonment. She dislocated me, transformed me. Why didn't anyone warn me? Why doesn't anyone ever talk about this?" Un heureux événement, or an intimate view of motherhood, sincere and with no taboos.

An ex-communist terrorist tries to fit in in today's society after getting out of jail. He meets with a group of young anti-Wall Street anarchists and falls in love with a mysterious young woman.
