Du Mouron pour les Petits Oiseaux plot
The story is set in an apartment complex, whose residents all have something to hide. First of all, there is an ex-gangster who is trying to straighten out and seems only interested in keeping birds. Then there is the nightclub dancer Lucie, who supports her Italian lover by sleeping with the butcher for a fee. At the same time, the butcher's wife has her own lover. There is also the owner of the apartment complex, who goes out of her way to help an elderly lady with the sole aim of swindling her, according to rumours, a lot of money. The residents' lives come together when one day the police arrest the ex-gangster.
