Following a climbing accident in the mountains, Pascal loses the use of his legs and is confined to a wheelchair. The film follows his gradual acceptance of this during his stay in a rehabilitation centre and, with the support of fellow residents, the return of his will to live.

Pascal, condamné à finir ses jours en fauteuil roulant, décide de faire un casse avec Gadouille, génie de l'informatique myopathe qu'il a rencontré dans l'institution où il est soigné.
