Charles Dé, a 50-year-old Geneva manufacturer, leaves the company and his family. He finds shelter and friendship with the "wild" couple Paul and Adeline.

Reviews
“Alain Tanner's first long feature film impresses with its sincere critical engagement, psychological empathy, the sober film language and the playful inclusion of quotes that range from Marx to Benjamin to popular wisdom. A convincing examination of a life crisis and at the same time a bitter description of Swiss reality. "
