Synopsis
One Christmas Eve brings together four total strangers, for an evening that will mark their lives forever.  Helly is a young prostitute who hopes that one day she can earn enough money to take back her son, who is currently with foster parents.  Whilst looking for business, she meets Didier, a taxi driver who is at the end of his tether.  He invites her to have dinner with him and share his company for a few hours.  Helly then meets Marie, a young woman who has just had a violent argument with her boyfriend, and Chris, a disillusioned drummer with a jazz band.  For each of these four unhappy people, this evening will mark the beginning of a new chapter in their lives...
