In his epic traveling through the centuries, Bertrand Bonello shows how fear, love and loneliness relate to each other and how they manifest themselves in different societies.
they manifest themselves in different societies.

In the year 2044, emotions no longer have a place in a society controlled by AI. Feelings have become superfluous obstacles that hinder productivity. Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) cannot free herself from her fears and is forced to have her DNA "cleansed" by the AI. This process sends her on a journey through her past lives. At the beginning of the 20th century, Gabrielle is a concert pianist in Paris, in the 2010s she lives as a photo model in Los Angeles, always meeting Louis (George MacKay), who seems to be connected to her. In the different incarnations and eras, the encounter between Gabrielle and Louis tells of great feelings and the difficulty of living them.
