Jeff Jefferies (James Stewart) is confined. No virus in the air, but a broken leg. This photojournalist isn't used to staying at home. Here, he has no choice. So he gets bored. He spends his days looking out of the window of his apartment, which overlooks a courtyard. Every day, he spies on everything his neighbors are doing. There are pleasant sights, such as the one he unwittingly sees Miss Torso, the young and ravishing dancer, when she stretches her legs sensually in the air, or when she dresses up with the rest of her body in the air. Funny shows, like the household scenes of an old couple, or the early weariness of a young couple. A very sad show, that of Miss Cœur Solitaire, who dreams of a love that never comes, but simulates the reception of an imaginary lover serving her a drink that will never be drunk.
