France is a haughty, bourgeoise wife who is abandoned at the side of the road by her husband after a vicious quarrel. She meets Charles, a doctor. The meeting of the two strangers is the focus of the film, along with their encounters with characters at a truck stop.

1980 film by Jean-Pierre Desagnat

Two ex-convicts, MG and Gilbert find refuge in a charming middle-class house whose couple is about to celebrate its 20-year old marriage. Our duo has no other solution than to take this entire brood in hostage. But, contrary to all expectations, they are warmly greeted by the occupants who don't think twice before helping them, they are even ready to put their guests off, even to kill them if necessary...

Emile is a 70-ish former horticulturalist who once raised bonsai trees "because they don't take up too much room." Indeed, his whole existence is safe and uneventful to a fault, somewhat juiced by friendship with raucous fishing companion Edmond. Still, they trade pleasantries rather than confidences -- so Emile is shocked when it turns out his elderly pal watches porn, paints nudes and shags women who are his contemporaries that he meets online.

A strange man is involved in a village massacre and drug dealing.

A 1950s London cleaning lady falls in love with an haute couture dress by Christian Dior and decides to gamble everything for the sake of this folly.

1952年，在一个叫做费伊洛的庄园发生了一起命案，死者包括一对来自英国的德鲁蒙夫妇和他们的小女儿伊丽莎白。费伊洛庄园属于一个叫做多米尼西·卡斯通的老头，卡斯通脾气古怪，对子女很严厉，尤其与大儿子克洛维斯关系十分紧张。由于这场命案发生在费伊洛庄园，很快刚愎自用的塞毕耶尔警长就怀疑上了卡斯通，认定这个古怪的老头就是命案的凶手。但从巴黎来的记者卢卡斯却不这样认为，他坚信此事与国际间谍组织有关，这一猜想引起了其他人的嘲笑。
很快，案情也有了新的进展。警察们在铁路工人马耶家发现了很多二战遗留下来的武器。马耶百口莫辩，无奈之下只得说出自己对谋杀案的了解。并道出多米尼西的小儿子克斯塔夫曾看见小女孩伊丽莎白弥留之际。这件事在小镇引起轩然大波，克斯塔夫不断受到外界指责，并被关押起来。禁受不住牢狱折磨的克斯塔夫在哥哥克洛维斯的劝说下，一起指认父亲才是真正的杀人凶手。为了保护儿子，老头卡斯通认下了所有的罪状，并天真的以为，只要随便编造一个自己杀人过程的故事，警察就可以放他回家。
卡斯通被抓进监狱，这个时候他才意识到事情的严重性，但为时已晚。赛毕耶尔警长因为此事被授予奖章，还被提升为警察局长。但记者卢卡斯却始终不相信这一切，并努力地寻找新的证据。在法庭上，虽然小儿子放弃了对父亲的指证，但大儿子因为仇恨却一直坚持指认父亲是凶手。卡斯通心如死灰，最后法庭判卡斯通以死刑。卢卡斯为卡斯通四处奔走，最终得知，卡斯通不过是国家利益的牺牲品，但确凿的证据早已被销毁了。
多米尼西案件引起国内外很大的轰动，总统迫于压力把对卡斯通的刑法改为无期徒刑。在满头白发的卡斯通行刑期间，卢卡斯一直不停的为释放他做着努力，终于在戴高乐总统上任时，卡斯通被释放。
