Un homme et son chien

An elderly gentleman and his dog find themselves out of a home with little means. Jeanne, a charming widow, lives with her former husband's best friend, Charles. One day, she announces that she will remarry - and throws Charles and his dog out of her house. Housemaid Leïla, pregnant from an unknown lover, can give him nothing but her affection an her glowing smile. In return, however, Charles will give her so much more. With no other means but a meagre pension, Charles and his dog face a life on the street. No helping hand extends towards Charles and his dignity forbids him to ask for it. As they find themselves alone on this railroad track, does the crash of the approaching train spell the end, or the beginning of a new life?
