Film Synopsis
This film follows the exploits of four law students at the university
of Aix-en-Provence. They are: Johan, the playboy; Breitling, the
exhibitionist; Axel, the timid introvert; and Arnaud, the numbskull who
has failed his exams for the third time. To cheer Arnaud
up, his three friends offer him an evening of hedonistic excess in the
company of some very pretty girls. Alas, Arnaud is so miserable
that even this does not lift his spirits. There is only one thing
to do. Arnaud's friends must change his exam results...
