To subsidise his studies in meteorology, Ulysse spends each Saturday working at a petrol station in the middle of nowhere.  A shy young man who stammers badly when he finds himself in a situation of conflict, he resists the insistent advances of Marie, who lives across the road.  Ulysse has grown so used to the routine that he is certain nothing is going to happen to him.  Then, one day, two thuggish English gangsters show up, desperate to get their hands on some stolen money...
