At Bertrand Morane’s burial there are many of the women that the 40-year-old engineer loved, including one who cheated on her husband with him. In flashback Bertrand’s life and love affairs are told by himself while writing an autobiographical novel.
Setting out on her own, 25-year-old Alice visits several apartments with the help of real estate agent Julien, a married man with offsprings. They soon fall in love. Around the same time, Alice takes work at Julien’s wife Marie’s tea shop. Charmed by the interest Alice shows in her, Marie lets her guard down and starts confiding in her. In return, Alice, tells Marie about her affair with a married man. Things come to a head when Julien has a car accident and the affair is exposed.
Two whimsical, aimless thugs harass and assault women, steal, mu..er, and alternately charm, fight, or sprint their way out of trouble. They take whatever the bourgeois characters value: whether it’s cars, peace of mind, or daughters. Marie-Ange, a jaded, passive hairdresser, joins them as lover, cook, and mother confessor. She’s on her own search for seemingly unattainable sexual pleasure.
