In his dreams, the stormtroopers who beat him become massive, fantastic samurai fighters with whom he does battle. His fellow employees and the kingpins of his mother's high-society existence become orc-like creatures who are dragging Jill in a cage.

Between his son's radical politics and a six-million-franc lawsuit he's filed, Philippe is in a constant, hopeless rage; while Vincent, with a bouffant hairdo that looks like Jerry Lee Lewis gone awry is forever out-of-control over his out-of-control students...
