Film Synopsis

Maxime is a 40-year-old-woman who is unlike most women of her age - liberated, modern, a detective.  It has been almost twenty years since she turned her back on her husband, and the cosy bourgeois world she was born into, to make a fresh start.  She smokes three packets of cigarettes a day, lives alone and prefers the company of young men she can dominate, never seeking a lasting relationship.  She works as a private detective, not an ordinary cop of the kind you see in movies, but rather someone like a taxi driver, one of those detached characters who has no ties and who immerses himself in the lives of others.  Following unfaithful husbands or looking for runaways, this is how Maxime spends most of her days.  One day, her employer asks her to recuperate the personal belongings of a colleague who died in a car accident.  Maxime soon discovers that the death was far from accidental and begins her own investigation...
