A Franco-Danish production, shot in France with a French dialogue and a mostly French star cast, this film went on to be selected for the Cannes 1975 competition program. A dangerous game is played by three friends after the rescue of a would-be suicide. An actor, a doctor, the doctor's wife and a journalist are the protagonists. Their common challenge: how far can you safely go in meddling with destiny?
