Al, a young man from a modest background is about to marry his boss’ daughter, along with succeeding him as the head of a car dealership. One night, while coming back from his bachelor party, he is guilty of a hit-and-run accident, urged by his two childhood friends present in the car. The next day, gnawed with guilt, Al decides to inquire about his victim. What he does not know is that Juliette, a young woman, has witnessed the entire accident from her balcony.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Corsini uses the car dealership as a metaphor for France's rigid class ladder—Al's 'success' is just salesmanship of himself.
The film's original French title 'Trois Mondes' references the three social strata that almost touch but never merge: Al's origins, his aspirational marriage, and Juliette's witness position.
