Jean is a “slow” man, he builds his life around his anxieties, and considers himself unsuited to life in society. He lives with Alex, who is a “fast” man. Passionate about aerodynamics and Eurodance, Alex lives fast and asks himself as few questions as possible. One morning, he receives a fast friend, Lou, at their place, while Jean had also planned to receive a slow friend, Caroline.

After growing up and finishing a law degree in Bordeaux, Paul Rigoux went to Paris and entered La Fémis in 2019. Alongside his studies, he directed his first short film in 2021, Ainsi commença le déclin d'Antoine. He then won the G.R.E.C. screenplay competition which enabled him to direct Rapide.
