一名未成年的少女，需要成年人的陪伴才能去探監；一位母親來到異國，為的是探視殺她兒子的凶手；另一名男子考慮替代黑幫人物扛代誌，以獲得鉅富…在教養院旁長大的導演，藉由看似無關的三段關係，勾勒監獄之外瘋狂的世界與底層生活，寫實筆觸與緊湊劇情緊密扣連，手法洗練，也讓蕾雅佛奈兒成為當年法國最受矚目的新銳導演。

Les ogres：They go from town to town, a big top on their backs, their show over their shoulder. They bring dreams and disorder to our lives. They are ogres, giants. They've devoured the theater and miles and miles of road. But the imminent arrival of a baby and the return of a former lover will make old wounds, that we thought had been forgotten, resurface. So the party begins!
