Christian is new to the wholesale market. He silently immerses himself in the unknown universe: the long aisles, the eternal order of the warehouses, the surreal mechanics of the forklift trucks. Bruno, his colleague from the drinks department, takes care of him, shows him tricks of the trade and becomes a fatherly friend. And then there's Marion from the confectionery department, who plays her little jokes on Christian. When he falls in love with her, the whole wholesale market joins in the excitement. But Marion is married - but not very happily, as they say.
