synopsis
In this French psychological drama, the tensions of show business parallel and increase the tensions on a married couple, both of whom are performers. The stage magician "Magico" (Claude Brasseur) is married to a singer (Bulle Ogler). Their lives are already somewhat complicated, but as they unravel, they become involved with the mob and drug-trafficking. Eventually, Magico is forced into being a stool-pigeon for the police.
