Farid, an Algerian turned informant for the French police, is found murdered in a small French town. Two offbeat and unethical female investigators are brought in to investigate the possibility of police involvement with the murder.

After a 6-year wait for his follow-up to the wonderfully eccentric, tender WWI musical La France, director Serge Bozon returned in fine form with this burlesque detective film comedy starring oddball duo Isabelle Huppert and Sandrine Kiberlain, investigating racial tensions in a small French town.
