Georges Clou is the very model of a happy middleclass man.  He is married, has a good job, a nice house in a new residential suburb, and everything else a man could want: wife, son and dog, all perfectly house-trained.  Paul Marteau, by contrast, considers himself outside this cosy little world.  Although he is rich and intelligent, he doesn’t feel that he belongs anywhere.  When these two men meet, little do they know that they will each have a lasting impact on the life of the other.  Clou sees Marteau as a good and sincere man who will become a great friend.  Marteau regards Clou as the thing he most despises and intends to use him to expose the superficiality of Clou’s comfortable little world...
