He works in the fields and is thinking about taking over a farm. To improve his everyday life, Thierry and his friend Rouille -the local outcast - steal meat at the nearby slaughterhouse for various restaurants. One night, without Rouille, Thierry frees all enclosed piglets. Though he hides this to his accomplice, the news spreads around the area. One of their customers wants to take advantage of this and tries to cheat them. Rouille goes mad, Thierry can't stop him. Rouille shoots down the restaurant owner.

He witnesses a murder. The policeman in charge of the case accuses him. If Thierry rebels against the obvious his only issue is to escape. He ends up in a small sea resort where he meets Fontaine, a cafe owner who doesn't care to know anything...
