Synopsis
Roger Pouplard, (Jean-Pierre Marielle) la quarantaine, bel homme, mais esbrouffeur et jaloux a quitté femme et enfant pour vivre avec Nadia (Sophie Daumier) une jeune femme riche et super sexy. Il vit cependant un peu mal cette situation et tente une rencontre entre sa femme et sa maîtresse autour de la table de ses parents. La rencontre vire au drame et au pugilat entre les deux femmes. Nadia prend le volant, rentre et boude. Pour la calmer Roger lui promet de l'emmener à Deauville, là il rencontre Chanteau (Marco Perrin), un vieux copain accompagnée d'Yvette, sa secrétaire (Dominique Lavanant). Les deux couples illégitimes sortent ensemble, mais Nadia semble de plus en plus intéressée par Chanteau. Roger s'en aperçoit et les deux hommes se battent. Roger est ensuite ramené à l'hôtel complètement ivre, et Chanteau et Nadia en profiteront pour faire l'amour dans la salle de bain. Le lendemain matin quand Roger se réveille, il constate que Nadia est partie, se précipitant dans la chambre de Chanteau, Yvette l'informe qu'ils sont partis tous les deux. Une certaine intimité commence à naître entre Yvette et Roger. Ils prennent la route et retrouvent par hasard l'hôtel où sont descendus Nadia et Chanteau. Roger commence à corriger violemment Nadia mais Chanteau l'assomme. Roger finira par épouser Yvette et ils auront un enfant. Dans les dernières scènes du film on voit Roger Pouplard toujours aussi hâbleur, faire le fier à bras sur une plage, tandis qu'Yvette drague un petit jeune en pêchant des moules.Actors

Henri Serin (Jean-Pierre Marielle) is a middle-aged travelling umbrella salesman from Saumur who lives a sexless and unhappy married life with his puritan wife (Gisèle Grimm) and two children. Painting is the only true passion of Henri but he also has an affection for female buttocks. One night, on the roads of Brittany he hits a boar with his car. Émile (Bernard Fresson), a rude and carefree painter who lives in a cottage near Riec-sur-Belon meets Henri and invites him to stay at his house while the car is being fixed. Henri falls in love with Émile's Canadian live-in girlfriend Angela (Dolores McDonough) who draws Henri's attention with her beautiful buttocks. Henri and Angela leave Émile after a violent confrontation and move to Pont-Aven, 'the city of painters'. Angela encourages Henri to continue his life as a painter and he sees this as an opportunity to leave his earlier life behind. However, Angela soon dumps him for Émile and Henri becomes a drunkard, butt of jokes in the town, and a painter unable to sell a single painting. Marie (Jeanne Goupil), the teenage maid working at the pension Henri stays, is apparently in love with him but he seems to neglect her because his mind is too occupied with Angela. However, at a kermesse where the two sing Kenavo by Théodore Botrel, Henri faces his true feelings for Marie. He finds pure love and a pair of beautiful buttocks in her and decides to make a new start in his life. Eventually, Henri and Marie begin to live together and are seen happily selling galettes and toffee apples on a Névez beach.

Marie, une adolescente restée femme-enfant, rencontre Claude qui gère une boutique de poupées anciennes et qui est lui-même collectionneur. Très rapidement, ils sympathisent et se marient. Le soir des noces, Claude met en application un scénario fétichiste dans lequel Marie devient une poupée vivante. Ignorante des choses de la vie, Marie se plie à ce jeu sans que le mariage soit consommé. Avec le temps le couple se fissure, Marie est toujours en demande d'affection, mais le jeu n'amuse plus Claude tous les soirs. Pendant une absence de Claude elle fait la connaissance d'Ida qui jouera avec elle un étrange jeu de séduction en prenant son bain avec elle. Marie se rapproche également du palefrenier, tandis que Claude en déplacement joue un jeu dangereux avec une poupée vivante infiniment plus jeune. Un soir, le palefrenier excité par Marie entreprend de la déshabiller et de la caresser, Marie se laisse faire jusqu'au moment où celui-ci s’apercevant qu’elle est vierge se jette sur elle pour la violer. Marie lui donne un coup de couteau et s'enfuit nue sous la pluie dans la forêt où elle se fait assommer par une branche basse. La fin du film nous montre la boutique de poupées anciennes, le gérant n'est plus le même, et en évidence dans la vitrine une poupée est installée ressemblant comme deux gouttes d'eau à Marie.

Martial (Daniel Auteuil) is discharged from a mental institution where he spent a few years due to a serious nervous breakdown. During his hospitalization, he ceases to speak with everyone, including his wife Régine (Thérèse Liotard), whom he had encouraged to find a new partner soon after entering the clinic. Upon his return, he finds his mother (Danielle Darrieux), a busy business woman who owns a supermarket chain. She's convinced that her son, who by now hardly talks to anyone after his experience, will be able to find himself again if tasked with some responbibilities. Soon enough, he's sent to Limoges on a business trip to check on one of their stores in the hope to reinvigorate its failing business. Once he arrives, Martial is faced with responsibilities he had never imagined, including dealing with the store's personnel. Due to his lack of people skills, this job is a difficult task. Meantime, as instructed by his mother, he checks on the accounting handled by the manager, Mr. Fonfrin (Jean-Pierre Marielle), and he soon realizes that the reason for the branch's close-to-failure status is that Fonfrin is padding the books. Due to his inability to take charge for anything in life, Martial fails to perform his duties and instead befriends the crooked manager, who invites the naive heir to join him and his wife (Dominique Lavanant) for dinner one night. He immediately falls in love with Francine (Sandrine Bonnaire), the maid, an eccentric young woman with whom he has a brief relationship. Martial unconditionally showers her with all kinds of gifts, as this is the first time in several years that he feels close to someone; it is a short episode that makes his dejected life momentarily look brighter. He lets his work fall behind for her but, unfortunately, the romance doesn't last long and, upon his return to Paris, he is deemed incompetent and re-admitted to the hospital.
