Plot:
At the end of 1972, con artist and thief Simon receives a remission to celebrate the New Year outside La Sante Prison. While heading to his apartment in Paris to meet his mistress Francoise, Simon notices that a car is chasing his cab. In the apartment, Simon learns that Francoise has a lover and he leaves the place without being noticed. Simon recalls Christmas 1966, when he travels out-of-season to Cannes with his partner and friend Charlot to heist the jewellers Van Cleef and Arpels. While plotting a scheme to rob the jewellers', Simon meets the intellectual antique dealer Francoise whose shop is next door to the target and he falls in love with her. But his scheme does not work as planned and he is arrested.
