Brigitte smuggles with Johnny near the border. When she discovers he is already sharing his life with another smuggler, Francesca, the two women launch into a deadly competition across the desert.

Shot in the enchanting Southern Alps, a beloved location for Luc Moullet, The Smugglers renounces the pretensions of 1960s student activism. Told through unusual sound techniques, this twisty love triangle rejects the mundanity of the everyday, opting instead for the unpredictability of wilderness.
