"Big Brother" in your own home?! What would you do if you discovered that a camera was secretly filming your everyday life? Justine and Jean-Marc, married for many years, suddenly receive a mysterious email with a video showing their argument in the kitchen. When they remove the camera, more footage arrives, revealing secrets, half-truths, and lies from their married life. Both panic. Of course, Justine and Jean-Marc try to downplay or justify their secrets to each other. But who installed the camera, when did it start, and why are they being watched at all?

The mirror effect - seeing yourself in action, confronting your own game of hide-and-seek - suddenly puts their marriage to the test and inevitably leads to a kind of self-therapy for the couple.

This comedy traces the rapid loss of trust between people in media-driven times in a wonderfully absurd way. How much transparency and ruthless honesty can a relationship bear, and shouldn't some things remain secret to keep trust intact?
