Superintendent Richard Selena of Marseille Police, is a compulsive overeater. Obese and awkward, he looks like an ogre.

After a heart attack, doctors give him one year to live.http://www.thewest.com.au/tvguide-popup.aspx?EventID=24184913 As well as being traumatised by the childhood incident and feeling responsible for her death, he falls in love with a murder suspect, Elsa played by Rachida Brakni.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0339482/
Fascinated by the young and beautiful Elsa whom Richard knows is guilty of murdering her uncle, Victor Lachaume, a leading ship owner of the port, he decides to play a game.
