Film Synopsis

Late one October night in 1999, a young woman leaves a friend's apartment and finds herself alone in a Paris street.  She has no money and no means of identification and her name is Carole.  Not sure what to do next, she hails a taxi and is soon cruising down the empty streets of the capital, with no destination in mind.  Seeing that the woman cannot pay her fare, the taxi driver takes her to the nearest police station.  It is too late for Carole to be interviewed, so she is dropped off at a nearby hotel run by Max.  Here, she is met by an unashamed communist, Voix Grave, who takes advantage of the opportunity to go off on one of his anti-authority tirades.  Meanwhile, the police are busy conducting a search for a prostitute, who happens to be the exact double of Carole...
