The story follows Séléna, who is the chief of the Marseille police and a superintendent. Respected and feared by his men, he is a compulsive overeater weighing three hundred pounds, and his sole enemy seems to be himself along with his physical state. Tortured by his past and feeling strangled by his body, he leads a solitary life in a large isolated house. Séléna is the only person who knows that Elsa was guilty of the murder of her uncle, a wealthy shipowner. Fascinated by her beauty, he offers her a strange deal, demanding that she dines with him every night for a year in exchange for his silence.
