Synopsis
Le commissaire Pichard et l'inspecteur Charbonnier mènent une enquête extravagante sur un crime commis sans mobile apparent. Un poinçonneur d'autobus est retrouvé mort dans ses wc, victime d'un assassinat. Détail surprenant : le verrou était fermé de l'intérieur. S'ensuit une enquête pour le moins loufoque, dans laquelle les deux policiers se lancent sur des pistes improbables, avant que le commissaire Pichard ne parvienne finalement à faire la lumière sur cette affaire.Actors

Milan (Hallyday) arrives in a small town by train at the start of the week. The hotel is closed, but he finds accommodation via a chance meeting with a retired French teacher, Manesquier (Rochefort). The film tells the story of the developing relationship between these apparent opposites, though looming in the background are two unavoidable events that each is expecting to take place on the Saturday - Manesquier is to undergo a major operation, and Milan (though he keeps this secret at first) is to lead a bank robbery. Manesquier soon realises Milan's intentions, but this does not prevent a growing mutual respect, with each envying the other's lifestyle.

The film begins in a flashback from the titular character, Antoine. We are introduced to his fixation with female hairdressers which began at a young age. The film uses flashbacks throughout and there are frequent parallels drawn with the past. Though Antoine tells Mathilde that 'the past is dead', his life is evidence that on some level the past repeats itself. As a young boy he fantasised about a hairdresser who committed suicide and as a man in his 50s he begins an affair with a hairdresser which ends after ten years in her suicide. However there are differences, Mathilde commits suicide because she is so happy she is afraid of the happiness she has found with Antoine ending.

C’est 2 frères. Qui habitent Montbard, en Bourgogne. Et qui, pour les vacances d’été, ont décidé d’aller voir leur mère à Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Parce que ça fait longtemps. Parce que ça lui fera plaisir. Ce ne sont pas les parce que qui manquent. Ils ont trouvé un motor-home d’occasion, et vont faire la route au rythme du bitume, au gré des envies. C’est ça l’idée : une diagonale de France entre frères. Sauf que leur tombe dessus une fille qui n’était pas prévue. Une fille attachante. Inattendue. Et qui n’a jamais vu la mer. Ils font donc la route à trois. Et tout doucement, entre désirs diffus et envies cachées, ils réalisent que d’être un trio n’empêche pas de s’aimer. Sans jalousie. Plaisirs partagés.

The characters from the first two films get together again, 27 years on, in Sardinia. The obsession with sex has not disappeared but has taken a backwards step in the face of financial preoccupations. Bernard and Nathalie Morin (Gérard Jugnot, Josiane Balasko), are the parents of a son who reveals a homosexual liaison; J.C. (Michel Blanc) and Gigi (Marie-Anne Chazel), are living together; Jérome Tarayre (Christian Clavier), is divorced and seems unhappy in his new life; Christiane Weissmuller (Dominique Lavanant), has joined an esoteric sect and wants revenge on Jérome who messed up an operation he performed on her; Popeye (Thierry Lhermitte), has become the proprietor of the hotel where the group has re-assembled, and is as unfaithful as ever.
