In this third part of Lucas Belvaux's genre-hopping trilogy, police officer Pascal Manise (Gilbert Melki) must deal with his drug-addicted wife, Agnès (Dominique Blanc), whose habit leads to a series of problems. Chief among them is Bruno Le Roux (Lucas Belvaux), a fugitive extremist, who encounters Agnès while she's trying to score morphine. Also involved in the drama are Jaquillat (Patrick Descamps), a drug-dealing businessman, and Cécile (Ornella Muti), an unlikely love interest for Pascal.
