Claire, a middle-aged professor of French literature, shares custody of her two sons with her ex-husband Gilles. She carries on a casual affair with the emotionally distant Ludovic, who on one occasion lets his roommate Alex pick up his phone when Claire calls. Claire develops a fascination with Alex, whom she has only seen on social media. She creates a fake persona, "Clara Antunes", on Facebook and connects with Alex, gradually developing an emotional affair with him. When Alex grows insistent upon meeting in person, Claire decides to call off the affair rather than risk him being disappointed with her middle-aged self. Alex deletes his profile, leading Claire to meet with Ludovic to find out about him. He tells her that Alex, broken-hearted over a girl on Facebook, has taken his own life.
