- When novelist Alessandro Battavia commits suicide, taxi driver Evangile and her brother Nord believe that they are characters imagined in a novel, probably one written by God. Because they see their lives as "merde," they go in search of God to get their story rewritten. Along the way--believing that everything is imaginary anyway--they shoot people, rob pharmacies, and tie up the residents of places where they squat. They also gather a taxi full of eccentrics, including a priest, Battavia's suicidal widow, and a policewoman; various couples pair off. Soon life imitates art: the events and ellipses seem lifted from modern fiction as the group's quest for God continues. What's real?
- In 1880, at the end of his life, Edouard Manet, the painter of 'Olympia' and 'The Luncheon on the Grass', is still both famous (for the scandals he created) and misunderstood. Things change at last when the Galerie de la Vie Moderne gives him the opportunity to show an overview of his whole career, thus allowing visitors to appraise his production in terms of artistic value, not basing themselves on hearsay.
