- DirectorPatrick BouchiteyStarsJean-François StéveninPatrick BouchiteyJean-Pierre BissonSimon and Dede are best friends: two aimless drunks who spend their days getting sloshed and any other available time getting laid.

In the past, a bizarre necrophiliac situation led to Simon experiencing his only sense of what it might be to truly love someone.
