After being left by his fed up wife, an author moves back in with his mother in the hope of finishing his book in peace and quiet.

In an old abandoned restaurant, a man emerges from the yellowish light sconces. A usual lonely night. While he is playing mechanically with his pasta soup, a woman enters, running away from the storm. The man, confused in front of this apparition, is looking for a solution with his nose in his soup. His pasta soup is answering him. 'Soup' is the suspended time, the side comment thanks to the rain, that shows how a man can deal with the opportunity to change his life.
