In the countryside of France, the dysfunctional House of Marcoux is in crisis: the patriarch Henri Marcoux has a love affair with the gorgeous red-haired neighbor Leda, a lonely artist that has just arrived from Japan. However, Henri does not want the divorce, since he is interested in the vineyard, the house and the income that belong to his wife Therese Marcoux and the children. Therese is a traditional bourgeoisie woman that is worried with the appearance of Leda and gossip about her family. Their son Richard is a weirdo mama's boy that loves classical music and is attached to his mother. Their daughter Elisabeth is dating the reckless gold-digger Laszlo Kovacs, who has become a friend to Henri and does not respect Therese. Their maid Julie is an easy woman that has sex with the milkman Roger. When Leda is found dead in her house, the police inspector investigates the murder and Therese and Roger are suspects.
