Maurice is a famous novelist whose isolated, static existence has left him with nothing to say; Do is a campaigner for animals who wants her life put into words. Their arrangement turns into love between two extremes, the aloof onlooker and the activist ready for direct action. Do plans to join raids by the Lobster Liberation Front on the fish markets of Ostend, so the two set off for a holiday without meat on the Belgian coast, and Maurice resolves to record their romance as honestly as he can.
