They gaze at the glowing city. THE FIREFIGHTER. – Look at the city! Isn't this the cauldron Basile and Odette described, the place of their losses? Must we go and dip our spoons into this soup? WEASEL. – Oh! The city! It's splendid! A thousand lights delight it. I feel it rising, rising, and entwining my legs. Take me away, the savannah is ablaze behind us, take me away. What were you saying earlier about the beauty of women? Ah! Yes, I remember… Come, firefighter of my heart, admire with me the majesty of the view. They disappear into the city.

The lovely Abricot, survivor of the mad matchmaker's deadly rampage, returns to duty and drags her sweethearts into the world of analog cinema, which is putting up a fight: escape, a high-speed chase between two cops, a pursuit across France with the broken-nosed bust of Henri Langlois under her arm… Jean-Luc Godard follows the case from afar. The end of the line is at director Jean-Pierre Stévenin's place, right at the Franco-Swiss border crossing at La Cure, in a strange café bisected by the border! Ouch!... but it's not over yet! Gabon and Abricot speed towards Lausanne, taking down a few bad guys along the way, as night falls; they have the idea, and carry it out, of kidnapping Jean-Luc Godard to "sweeten" the Cinémathèque Française. The operation is swiftly executed across the canton of Vaud and is resolved in the most eccentric and convivial campsite in the Swiss Confederation. Beware of the Walther PP from Gabon, a James Bond-style pistol: it's not good to be in its path, especially if you're a cloud. Release date: October 24, 2021. Order now
