Film Synopsis
Jean, a 40-year-old bailiff, exercises his professional duties with
talent but with little sign of humanity. He is married to Nicole,
35, a compulsive consumer in crisis. Jean regularly makes use of
George, a debtor who is always ready to lend a helping hand. It
is through George's efforts that Nicole regains her taste for

accompany him in his line of work. It is not a happy reunion and
they soon fall out. In a fit of pique, Jean makes up his mind to
teach Eddy a lesson, with a little help from his friend Georges...
