Among them, a Foreign Legion colonel and his dog; an unfaithful gynecologist and his fiery nurse; a voyeuristic filmmaker and his editor in love; a Don Juan-type antique dealer; an adorable old lady and her nice son who turns into a drag queen at night; an FIFG interviewer; an unbearable opera singer; a lesbian; a deceived woman.

Paul has been imprisoned for ten years for passing counterfeit money. He feels victimized enough, both for the prison time and for the crime which led to it; he committed the crime to give his wife the nice things she asked him for.

However, his ire is not due to her disloyalty to him; he loved their only son to distraction, and now the boy has no knowledge or memory of him.
