This is the setting for the adventures of a “troubled” one-parent family, in which a young and wild mother reinvent the function of these sleeping boxes, in order to build up an intimate and absurd world for her son. In their strange everyday life every objects looks like having an offbeat use: light-bulbs literally inform about the start of a brilliant idea, gas masks prevent from crying while cutting onions, shopping cars are used to pick up dead animals while hunting, and so on.

Their “family idylle” is interrupted by a searches from the civilization, who affascinates the kid with his father manners and incredibles stories about the disappeared civilization, ours. The fear of losing him brings the mother to declare him as the first time her inexaustible mother love and the raison of all her lies.
