This complex and puzzling French drama walks the fine wavering line between the fictional and the very real as it tells the tale of a strangely erotic event in the life of a little girl and the musings of a schizophrenic woman. Also involved is an enigmatic spouse who prepares a surprise for a burglar.

During the day, a non-conformist young man and his friends try to make a living by doing odd jobs; at night, they sink at the Moderno Bar.
