Laurent has been on edge for some time: the science lab he worked at just fired him, his blood pressure is way too high. But Laurent’s real problem is with Juliette, his live-in girlfriend who is 20 years his junior, and to whom he feels he must remain invulnerable. To hide his unemployment from Juliette, he gets into petty theft. Laurent’s clumsy attempt at delinquency quickly gets him into hot water. When he is sent to burgle a rich apartment in an upscale neighborhood, he ends up smack in the middle of a recent crime scene. A murdered couple are sprawled out, and a still-alive infant is crying. Laurent makes a dash for it, and grabs the newborn on instinct… how can he possibly explain this to Juliette?
A mystery, riddled with comedy.
