Summary
To subsidise his studies in meteorology, Ulysse spends each Saturday
working at a petrol station in the middle of nowhere. A shy young
man who stammers badly when he finds himself in a situation of
conflict, he resists the insistent advances of Marie, who lives across
the road. Ulysse has grown so used to the routine that he is
certain nothing is going to happen to him. Then, one day, two
thuggish English gangsters show up, desperate to get their hands on
some stolen money...
