Plot

Jacques Emile Marie Loursat is a brilliant lawyer who descended into alcoholism following his wife's suicide. His daughter, Isabelle, who blames him for her mother's death, hasn't spoken to him in ten years. One night, while returning home drunk from a brothel, Loursat hears a gunshot inside his house. Shortly after, he discovers someone dying on the second floor: Joël Cloarec. Police suspicions quickly fall on Antoine Manu, Isabelle's friend, who is charged and then sent to trial. Loursat takes on his defense.
