Michel Auclair plays Jacques Lacroix, an art dealer in dire straits who is ripped off by two crooks, one owning a genuine Gauguin painting and the other an expert copyist. After finding them again, he joins their game instead of killing them as planned, with disastrous results. Characterized by its dark themes, the film stars Paul Frankeur as Marc Kelber, Giani Esposito as Claude Watroff, and Annie Girardot as Viviane.
