In 1919 in Marseilles, George Sarret, a crooked lawyer and war hero, his girlfriend Philomène and his sister in law and lover Catherine, specialize in life insurance frauds.

For his first feature film, Francis Girod brings to the screen a sordid real life story, and offers us a decadent portrait of three lovers turned murderers in a Europe barely recovering from the wounds of the Great War. With his two partners Romy Schneider and  Masha Gomska, Michel Piccoli delivers a superb and wild actor’s performance, set to music by the great Ennio Morricone and co-written by Jacques Rouffio  (The Sugar, Seven Deaths by Prescription).  Inflammatory !
