Film Synopsis

Like so many people in the small town where he lives, Jacques has found it impossible to find another job after the closure of the factory where he has worked for several years.  He is struggling to keep his head above water as debts pile up around him when he receives a strange offer of work from Gardot, a local mobster.  The latter will give Jacques a large sum of money if he will rid him of wife.  Lured by the prospect of each cash, Jacques agrees and the contact is duly executed.  Gardot then engages him a second time, to dispose of a company boss.  It is in the course of these murderous exploits that Jacques gets to meet Anita, with whom he falls madly in love.  Jacques's dealings with Gardot are about to take a nasty turn...
