Outside his bathroom, a disgruntled song writer swings a broken wine bottle threateningly at Jamie's band, forcing him to flee towel-clad into the auditorium.

Lena (Isabelle Huppert), a Belgian Jew, emerged from an internment camp with her sad-sack husband Michel (Guy Marchand) and a handmade marital straitjacket. Madeleine (Miou Miou) saw her glamorous first husband die from enemy gunfire in the town square, then fell into a pleasureless marriage with a slimy hustler named Costa (Jean-Pierre Bacri).
