The film"s page
Janine, Jean et René n'ont a priori rien en commun. Janine, ancienne militante communiste, a choisi de devenir comédienne. Elle devient bientôt la maîtresse de Jean, haut fonctionnaire marié. Pour s’installer avec elle, celui-ci décide de quitter femme et enfants. René, fils de paysan breton, a choisi de travailler dans l'industrie et a, peu à peu, gravi les échelons. Lorsque son entreprise est rachetée, il est lui aussi contraint de quitter sa famille. Dirigeant désormais une usine de vêtements, il rencontre Janine, devenue styliste de mode. Les destins croisés des héros vont faire l'objet de l'analyse du célèbre professeur Henri Laborit, qui tente d'expliciter leurs comportements en s'appuyant sur des expériences scientifiques réalisées sur des rats.
