In this black comedy, Fred (Jean-Louis Trintingnant) works for an insurance company as a computer engineer.

For a while he is content with his new freedom, but then he recognizes that a friend is in a similar situation. However, he is interested in the man's wife, so with her cooperation, it is his friend who dies.
