- The film follows the French Paris-Roubaix spring classic, notorious for the hellish paves or cobbled roads of the north "which are no longer used for traffic but only for transporting cattle - and for cycle races". We are there from the dawn preparations and rituals on the outskirts of Paris and through the rigours of the race with special focus on a number of prominent cyclists to the final outcome on the Roubaix cycle track - followed by the filthy riders taking their showers. There is also an eye for life among the spectators and the media event as such. The film alternates among different kinds of shot with a view to establishing the most suitable view of the narrative: shots from motorcycles, which are able to convey the motion of the race and provide close ups of the riders in the style of television cycle race reporting; fixed cameras stationed at strategically important points along the route, where viewers can watch riders passing in real time and thus gain a clear overview of the distance between the leaders and the main field: and the Olympian eye of the helicopter shots.
- A cruel fable about the relationships of a gold digger proletarian woman and her old-fashioned/has-been crooner husband, who is hired as a lifeguard by a nasty, disabled and self-sufficient billionaire at his estate in the South of France.

Unfortunately he falls in love with her.
- Road To Roubaix is a documentary on the most prestigious one-day cycling race in the world, Paris-Roubaix. First held in 1896 and now in its 105th edition, the race is a grueling contest over 160 miles of narrow, cobbled farm roads in the Picardie and Norde-Pas-de-Calais regions of France with a finish in the historic Roubaix velodrome. Road to Roubaix is a visual narrative of an old-school, bare-knuckle clash of the finest athletes in the world with each other and one of the world's most unforgiving sporting environments. The filmmakers tell the story of the riders, the fans, the mechanics, and the unpredictable landscape that is the setting for the Paris-Roubaix.
- There is a place in Roubaix, the Compagnie de l'Oiseau Mouche, which deals with and trains handicapped workers/actors. I mean people who are declared and identified as such. Friends. Who work. Thirty-five hours a week. This company based in the place known as "le Garage" produces shows with these actors. And it hosts some, too. These actors are the protagonists of the film. For us, it involved envisaging a trace in images and sound of a workshop that started a year previously.
- Roubaix is host city to an exhibition of the work of Victor Maurin, one of the most famous sculptors of nearby Lille. A few hours prior to the launch of the event, one of the sculptures starts to bleed. The artist's corpse is found inside.
