Michel Uzès, a man in his forties, is arrested during a trip to Denmark. The police suspect him of being Paul Bernardin, a wanted murderer accused of killing his wife and three children. While Uzès claims to be innocent, two amateur detectives, Léa and Christine, begin their own investigation. They know the case inside out and are convinced that Michel is, in fact, the wanted murderer. Meanwhile, in Argentina, a Frenchman in his forties with a mysterious past celebrates his wedding with his young and beautiful fiancée.

Presented in the Director’s Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival.
