Karl Wisent, separated from his wife Heike, teaches at an
all-girls' school in Paris. On a Saturday afternoon, his accidental
meeting of Helene, who lives with Gaspard, an actor, turns his life
upside down. A year later, Karl decides to end his marriage and
marry Helene. Will she leave Gaspard for Karl?
Soon thereafter, Karl's grandmother offers him her house in the
hills west of Avignon for the summer. In order to escape Paris, he
accepts. On his journey south he meets old friends and explores a
series of caves full of primitive drawings. For a while, he is
happy, but things take a nasty turn when Heike arrives at the house
with her new boyfriend and two Americans in tow. If that is not
enough, an American friend, Dutch Vogel, returns from the first
Gulf War, worn out and angry.
Karl discovers that he has somehow attracted these troubled
people and their calamities and that if he doesn't discover the
reason why, he will never be rid of them.
