Luison, a former clown from a circus hired by the butcher’s assistants, to supply the inhabitants of a strange house on the outskirts of the city of their neighbors, this is another “crazy Pierrot”, which over time could turn into another “romantic maniac” like Mima killers in a “strange drama” by Marcel Carne (the authors of the “delicacies” probably knew this amusing one with a heart. The black comedy of the 30s) ... If it were not for the call of the “resistance” pipe, which are hidden in sewer labyrinths and intend to raise a rebellion against the dictatorship of invisible bloodthirsty tyrants.

In addition, this work of young French directors was created with rare cinematographic ingenuity, although sometimes the audience can manifest the “overeating syndrome” from the abundance of kinomatic generous scenes.
