The worst nightmare of all parents: the disappearance of a child. Tonight, Anne and Marco are invited to dinner with their neighbours, the couple next door. As the babysitter cancels at the last moment and the houses are adjoining, Marco convinces Anne to leave Cora, 6 months, in her cradle and to take the babyphone.
