Story
Alain Cluny (Balthazar) is a middle-aged intellectual who often discusses leftist causes with his girlfriend but lacks practical involvement.

Edwarda's group stages a mock interrogation by French secret police to evaluate Balthazar's commitment and reliability. After passing this test, he is given a real assignment. The film follows Balthazar as he navigates these events, exploring the humor in left-wing pretentiousness.
