Extravagant French cross between action thriller and drama with a nod to "Don't look now" The fictional port town of Angernaud forms the whimsically realistic backdrop for an in-depth investigation by Darroussin and Courreau who also investigate each other. The interpersonal relationship piece is approached from different sides, especially on the sexual level, which makes the film liberal and never boring. The storyline is the challenge. Ode to the early 70's in terms of style.
