Film Synopsis
Michel Durand is a psychoanalyst who is no longer surprised by anything
his patients tell him. Not even the anxious utterances of a
heckled maths teacher or the surrealist ramblings of kleptomaniac Olga
Kubler can keep him awake anymore. Life offers no more surprises
for Michel, or so he thinks. When he stirs from one of his more
justifiable mid-consultation naps, he finds Madame Kubler lying dead in
his office. Is it possible that, driven by some subconscious
neurotic impulse, he killed her in his sleep? In a panic, Michel
has just one thought: to dispose of the body. All appears to be
well, until the dead woman's husband, a crooked promoter named Max
Kubler, puts in an appearance...
