The plot in this film, like most of director Leconte's films, is more of a situation than a storyline. The events and environment are shown in black and white; I suspect to minimalize their inherent sensationalism, and allow the viewer to focus on the characters, so surprisingly and effectively portrayed by Daniel Auteuil and Vanessa Paradis. Gradually intrigued by them, I finally cared for them, then understood them enough to let them go their own way.
