Gilles (Michel Cote) is a mild-mannered dentist until his wife of 20 years suddenly dumps him for another man. Dejected, depressed, and distraught, he turns to his psychiatrist, Docteur Bilodeau (Yves Jacques), who has his patients lay into a punching bag. For Gilles, the treatment proves to be too successful, and soon he's taking his treatment out on his clients. While cooling his heels in jail, he bonds with cellmate Sunsey (Patrick Huard), a hard-drinking, dope-smoking man's man. Soon, Gilles office has transformed into a neo-hippie drug den and party pad. Somewhere amid the THC haze, Gilles starts to date comely lass Sophie (Guylaine Tremblay) -- who in a Vertigo-like turn looks just like his soon-to-be ex-wife. Has he found the doppelganger of his life's love or should he lay off the hallucinogens? This film was huge hit in its native Quebec.
