Summary
A reformed gangster, Patrick, retires to Camargue to rear bulls on his farm. One
day, a former accomplice of his, Robert, appears on his doorstep, having just been released
from prison. Unlike Patrick, Robert is not so keen to settle for the quiet life.
Having flirted with Patrick’s fiancée, he makes more trouble by persuading Paco,
the young son of farmhand, to attempt a burglary. When that goes horribly wrong,
Patrick takes justice into his own hands...
