Synopsis
Lionel Fribourg is a musician who is desperate to compose his own
symphony. For that reason, he needs peace and quiet, but his
Parisian apartment is so noisy that it is impossible for him to write a
single note. By pure coincidence, he meets Agnès, a woman
who lives alone in a big house in the country. They start a
relationship and Lionel quickly realises that her peaceful house would
be perfect for him. However, there is a problem.
Agnès’s father, Monsieur Devillard, intends to come and live
with her. The man is a carpenter and his only interest is in
making boats, which he does very noisily. When Lionel pays
Devillard a visit, he realise that the man doesn’t like him and will be
his eternal enemy. So why should he not kill him? Alas,
this will only be the first in a series of murders...
