Сады осенью
Кто бы мог подумать, что министр Венсан окажется на улице? Услуги, оказанные Венсаном нации, весьма значимы. В молодости он был биологом и изобрел незаметное, но эффективное оружие массового уничтожения: генетически модифицированных насекомых — вызывающих судороги блох и ос-убийц. В тридцать лет он уже был членом Академии наук. Чтобы нейтрализовать его талант изобретателя, его назначают министром сельского хозяйства. Он превращается в старого зануду, ему уже за шестьдесят, и он почивает на лаврах. Естественно, у него есть враги, которые терпеливо роют ему могилу. Всё начинается с хорошо продуманных акций: выкриков, протестов, яростных выступлений, неприкаянных мычащих коров, овец и уток, навоза, разбросанного по бульварам, тракторов...

Couples et amants
Director
Seemingly, Paul (Jacques Bonaffee) and Isabelle (Marie Brunel) have a wonderful, harmonious marriage. Yet Isabelle is not averse to having a little side action with another man in the afternoon, and Paul is really getting into his romance with one of his ophthalmic patients, a young woman who pursues him more than he pursued her. Even those little affairs might not indicate that there is much wrong with the marriage, but when Paul find's out about Isabelle's little affair, he behaves like a thug rather than the sensitive, easygoing man he has appeared to be. By contrast, the constant bickering of a couple they both know seems to indicate real intimacy between them, despite the fact that they are on the verge of divorce.
The Bathroom
Director
For no apparent reason, "the man" decides he is going to live only in the bathroom of his apartment (clothed). Perhaps he wants the isolation he might find there.

When his girlfriend visits him there, he responds to this interruption of his musings by briefly using her forehead as a dartboard. Eventually he returns to his Paris apartment, and reconciles with his injured girlfriend.
