A retired prosecutor who lives there asks Langlois, a police captain, to investigate the case.

Trivia Having made friends with Jean Giono, Édouard Molinaro was asked by the writer to co-write and direct the film. They did write a first draft of the script and went as far as to scout locations in the Aubrac region but the project failed for production reasons. François Leterrier took over two years later.
