Two female smugglers discover they have the same man. This leads to ferocious competition in an area straddling the frontier, involving both customs officers and the smugglers’ consortium, whose rules the trio have broken. Set in the Southern Alps, dear to the director, the film resumes the observation and ironic criticism of the student movement, two years after Brigitte et Brigitte. Rediscovering one of his two heroines, tired of the city and ready to return to the mountains, the director imagines adventures and chases in which his characters experience the excitement of risk, in the midst of obscure smuggling business. A shrewd observer of the landscapes he loves, Moullet glorifies these imposing spaces without distorting them.
