Extract from the script: Marc: She didn’t… Paul: Nah. Marc: I see.
Paul is crashing at Marc’s place and overstayed his welcome. Marc, a painter, can’t work with this intrusion in his home. With Marc’s help, Paul tries to get together with his wive – and failes… The story is inspired by Cézanne’s painting “The Stove in the Studio” and about this certain type of male friendship, in which a lot is unspoken, but the friendship nevertheless works.
