Whilst in Thailand to marry a sex worker he met through a marriage agency website, Raymond, a lonely industrial designer, who has just lost his job, is informed that his father's body has been discovered in an isolated villa on the Belgian coast. Soon, he moves into the villa with the intention of renovating it so that he and his new wife can live by the sea. But an addiction to painkillers and a growing depression leave him too indifferent to do anything but watch television and go to his favourite supermarket. Half-drugged and more than occasionally half drunk, he wanders from room to room in his pyjamas, sitting at the window for days on end as the shifting dunes bury the perimeter wall and the sea laps at the patio doors, unaware that he will never see his wife again.
