Quantum Love

Pierre has spent fifteen years in a stable marriage, savoring family life and the quiet rhythm of daily routines. He’s a devoted father and a friend who believes in ordinary pleasures, from school runs to quiet evenings at home. At a lively party he notices Elsa, a confident stranger whose energy shakes up his routine. They exchange glances, share playful banter, and the chemistry is electric. When they meet again soon after, the spark deepens into a powerful infatuation. They try to keep distance, clinging to the safety of their commitments, yet thoughts of each other won't stay away. The pull of fantasy begins to mingle with reality, testing boundaries and loyalties. That tension hints at choices yet to come.
