Adaptation for TV of the Dino Buzzati play "Un caso clinico". A modern Kafkaesque horror story in which medical specialists and machinery destroy a perfectly healthy man.

A survivor of the Spanish Civil War who had been in French internment camps takes refuge with a family of winegrowers in the Jura. He becomes attached to this land that is not his own.

A historical and tragic backdrop: the dragonnades, the persecution of Protestants after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. And a comic situation: an insubordinate singer who taunts Louis XIV's soldiers from the top of his rock, driving Marshal Boutre half mad.

Germain, a great seducer, collects the mistresses. There are four, all brown, and all married. When the husband of one of them disembarks to threaten him with death, he must break up. But with which? The gouailleur Robert Lamoureux interprets this man who does not like to leave women.
