A champion rally driver and his young co-pilot get stuck on a remote road in the heart of the Alps of Haute Provence. In this abandoned and only apparently agreeable place, we also meet a troubled astrophysicist, interpreted by a young Mathieu Amalric, a hot-blooded shepherd and soldiers involved in a mysterious and absurd mission. Moullet presents a heterogeneous mixture of characters, lost and isolated in a chaotic universe. As in his previous film, Parpaillon, he chose to film the dynamics of a group compromised by massive egos and the inability to communicate in a deliberately unrealistic way, drawing an audacious parallel between the conflict involving these absurd and marginal characters, and the Gulf War.
