Claude Brasseur stars in this cinemadaptation of the Moliere play Georges Dandin, ou le mari confondu.

The plot, involving a wealthy man's avoidance of marriage until he is trapped by a crafty widow, is but a peg upon which to hang any number of comic complications and character vignettes. Brasseur's leading lady is the toothsome Zabou.

In this political drama, five left-leaning friends gradually lose heart in the Socialist government elected in 1981 in France.
