Official synopsis

Em busca de inspiração para seu novo romance, Sylvie, uma escritora francesa em crise criativa, passa os dias observando secretamente os vizinhos do prédio em frente ao seu apartamento em Paris. Tentando recuperar o brilho de seus anos de prestígio, ela transforma a rotina alheia em matéria-prima para sua escrita. Mas, quando contrata Adam para ajudá-la nas tarefas do dia a dia, a linha entre observação e interferência começa a se desfazer, desencadeando consequências inesperadas para ela, seus vizinhos e sua própria ficção.
