A woman is showing a boy her photographs. They are odd in that in all of them something is always missing. In one there is a man looking at the viewer. He is naked shoulders and head and arms and nothing else. The rest is just a blur. She tells the boy that the man was not posing in the nude when she took his picture. He was wearing underwear and pants. But these have been erased from the image and you cannot any longer see them. The woman is identified (assuming she is the woman referred to in the title) as Alix. The boy is addressed as Martin and he is the son of the director who you later learn committed suicide. The woman is also dead, although you can see her in the film where she appears to be alive and she is showing Martin her photographs. She comments on them with animation, and, perhaps, a restrained excitement, though you cannot be sure what she is saying as you do not speak French and they are speaking in French and the movie is not subtitled, though it is less of a movie than it is a short film, assuming it is time that allows you to make this distinction and not something else.
