Christelle, en grande détresse morale, appelle Pascal, un collègue de travail, pour qu’il lui rende un service.

CHRISTELLE travaille avec PASCAL. Ils s’apprécient mutuellement, sont courtois et ont tendance à se rendre mutuellement service. Mais Christelle devient étrange, absente et ennuyée. Un dimanche, alors que Pascal est à la maison avec sa famille, Christelle l’appelle et lui demande de venir parce qu’elle a un problème. Inquiet, Pascal va aussitôt chez elle. Là, elle lui demande de lui faire un enfant. Pascal, un bon père de famille, est choqué et tente de la ramener à la raison mais plus il s’oppose, plus Christelle tente de le convaincre et de le charmer.
