Michel Descombes (Philippe Noiret) is a clockmaker who lives with his son. One day when a policeman shows up at his doorstep and states that Michel's son, Bernard (Sylvain Rougerie) has committed murder and is on the lam, he realizes that he doesn't know much about his own son. Michel must reevaluate his life and beliefs after Bernard is captured and expresses no remorse over his actions since the man deserved to be killed. Excellent performance by Noiret.
