Set during World War II in France, the story begins when a resistance fighter is given shelter in an asylum by a friend who manages the institution. Soon after, the manager is arrested by the Gestapo, which gets the resistance fighter involved. He finds the informer who set his friend up and kills him. But then no one will believe his story about the informer and he becomes desperate enough to start losing his own mental balance. A young doctor and the daughter of one of the inmates help him keep it together, but he knows he cannot continue like this for long.

Dominique Lombardi is news director of a regional TV station. A homosexual, he has a secret relationship with his young protégé, Jean-François Sevran, a journalist and news anchor. To conceal their relationship, the two live in the same building and have set up a trapdoor so they can see each other without bumping into their nosy plumber neighbor on the stairs. As a young man, Jean-François is searching for himself, until the day he meets Florence, the new sub-prefect of his district, whom he is to interview.
