Narrated (voice of Pierro Lebear) by a fish that is being filleted in a fish market, the fish uses its last moments to tell the surrealistic story about Bibiane Champagne (Marie-Josee Croze) who crashes her car into an elderly fisherman, leaves the scene, plunges her car into a river, and survives. Hope for her salvation lies in the son (Jean-Nicolas Verreault) of the fisherman. Can romance save her?
