Bibiane undergoes an abortion, her business activities in the family chain of boutiques end in disaster, and on top of that, she inadvertently runs over a pedestrian, who then dies of his injuries. This existential story full of paradoxes, incorporating all kinds of mystical, symbolic, comic, and romantic scenes, has an unusual collective narrator: Norwegian fish being distributed to Montreal restaurants.
