Le forgeron
Em 1865 Timothee, um vagabundo, chega a uma vila no sul da França a fingir que é surdo e mudo. Lá, ele fica impressionado com a beleza de uma jovem mulher, Josephine, e pede hospitalidade na casa do Dr. Hughes, pai dela. Ao jantar, ele faz truques esquisitos induzindo reações estranhas em Josephine. No dia seguinte, ele volta quando ela está sozinha e fá-la cair num estado de letargia hipnótica, antes de se aproveitar dela. Oprimida pelo seu poderoso dom hipnótico, ela segue-o mesmo que pareça estar repugnada e com medo dele. Ele leva-a às profundezas da floresta e continua a abusar dela até que é preso e julgado. Mas como aceitou Josephine segui-lo?

After Bernard steals the suitcase belonging to Edouard, Olivier's uncle, and the ensuing complications, he is made Edouard's secretary.

Two shipwrecked people on a makeshift raft in the middle of a social conflict, a mountaineering fight on Mount Paterhorn, improbable friction between two men and a woman in the Yvelines ... The places, the situations change, but each time there is a confrontation. The question is not so much who will win, but to take pleasure in the arguments provided by the opponents. Cunning, bad faith, all blows are allowed in what is primarily a fight of words. "
