Summary:
Part crime thriller and part romantic comedy, the film shows the dangerous and outlandish lengths two men go to for the women they love. Director Garrel stars as Abel, an aquarium educator whose mother, Sylvie, marries one of her drama pupils in the local penitentiary, Michel. Once on parole, Michel attempts to start a legitimate life but soon reverts to his old ways, eventually roping Abel into one of his schemes. Complicating matters is Clemence, Abel's brazen coworker, who convinces him to take part in the heist.
