The sense of emptiness echoing among Paris’s desolate concrete structures begins with Alphonse Tram’s footsteps. He neither remembers the crimes he has committed nor can he escape the absurdity around him. His loneliness grows exponentially in the concrete metro stations and deserted streets. He finds a neighbor: a police inspector who questions the monotony of life. This black comedy by Bertrand Blier takes hold of the mind in the eerie midnight hours of Paris. In this unsettling universe where crime and chance are intertwined, the characters struggle with their own shadows.
