Plot

Vincent Lacroix is a successful singer, one of those who have everything going for them, glory, love, money. For twenty years, Muriel, an eccentric esthetician and somewhat mythomaniac, has had eyes only for him. She hasn't missed any of his concerts, watches all his appearances and buys everything he produces. One evening, Vincent's life gets out of hand. During an argument, he accidentally kills his partner.
