Après le meurtre de sa femme Alexis est dévasté. Il retire toutes ses économies et se lance dans un voyage dont il ne pense pas revenir. Sa rencontre avec Daphné rend la fuite par la Tartarie encore plus folle.
After his wife is murdered in the middle of the street by a maniac with a gun, Alexis empties his bank account, leaves his job and his friends to go on an adventure. As the days go by, he becomes interested in and witnesses the spectacle of the street. Here, peasants block the roads, further on, he is told, angry shopkeepers, while on television, the conspirators of a province in revolt are shot live. His meeting with Daphne will upset his program. He moves in with her. Under tranquilizers to support her life, Daphne goes from laughter to tears with disconcerting ease. Alexis' intrusion will determine her behavior; like him, she decides to "take the trip" which can only end in death. Abandoning everything, they leave together, never to return. Weapons appear everywhere, repression is going on. Hostage-taking, pollution, shootings, hangings, everything points to an imminent catastrophe
