Film Synopsis

Loosely based on Honoré de Balzac's 1830s novel 'L'Histoire des Treize', this film recounts the exploits of a secret society consisting of thirteen men, transposed to Paris in 1970.  Several individuals and groups of individuals who have no obvious connection are presented to us.  We overhear snatches of conversations that merely add to the mystery.  Finally, it emerges that these are all pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, each having a connection to the mysterious secret society...
