After diligently working for the company for fifteen years, Henry (played by Jean-Pierre Léaud) faces the tragic outcome of being fired. Filled with resentment and hitting walls in life, he contemplates suicide in his despair. However, no matter what method he tries, he fails to take his own life. At that moment, he sees a small bar in the newspaper that is frequented by gang members and hitmen, and he decides to give it a shot. Henry hires a hitman (played by Kenneth Colley) to take his life, but afterward, he unexpectedly meets a beautiful flower girl named Marguerite (played by Margi Clarke), and the two quickly spark a romantic connection. Life suddenly gains meaning, and Henry no longer wants to die. However, he can't find the hitman who signed the contract with him, which means that from this moment on, he is at risk of being assassinated at any time.
