The series takes place in a bourgeois apartment in the 11th arrondissement, not far from the Bataclan.
This is where Doctor Dayan (played by Frédéric Pierrot), psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, receives his patients.
A couple in crisis (Pio Marmai and Clémence Poesy), a fragile teenager (Céleste Brunnquell), a surgeon (Mélanie Thierry) and an agent of the BRI, the search and intervention brigade of the judicial police, played by Reda Kateb , parade in his office.
For his part, Philippe Dayan resumes after twelve years of stopping his own therapy with Esther, his psychiatrist (Carole Bouquet).
