Synopsis
François, an ordinary factory worker, barricades himself in his one-room lodgings, after shooting dead another man. He ignores the cries from his neighbours and the police who surround him and who threaten to bring him to justice. As night falls, François begins to recall the chain of circumstances that led him to kill another man. It all started when he met and fell in love with a young flower seller named Françoise. How quickly that idyllic love affair became poisoned by jealousy and suspicion. François seemed to have everything - until that wicked dog trainer Valentin and his mistress Clara came on the scene...
