Alphonse finds his acquaintance killed with his penknife sticking out of his belly. When he tries to report the crime to police inspector Morvandieu, he refuses to listen. Later, Alphonse’s wife is killed. Her killer befriends Alphonse, and the two recruit Morvandieu to commit more crimes with them.

A delirious blend of dark comedy and crime thriller, Betrand Blier’s follow-up to his Oscar®-winning Get Out Your Handkerchiefs shocks with its moral ambiguity. Shot around freshly urbanized areas, this cult classic transforms nocturnal Paris into a strange new beast with murders in its belly.
