synopsis
Thomas (Sylvain Joubert) works on his grandfather's land, boxes in his spare time, and dreams of becoming a veterinarian. He is equally happy to beat up trespassing hippies or thieves when they come onto the land. When he is seriously injured during an anti-nuclear demonstration, he seeks death rather than live as a disabled man. This drama was first shown on French television before being released to movie theaters.
