Former clown Louison (Dominique Pinon) arrives from a post apocalyptic Paris and moves into a boarding house above a butcher’s shop. Times are tough and the butcher, Clapet (Jean-Claude Dreyfus) has taken to selling human meat. Clapet gives Louison the job of maintenance man in the run down boarding house, where the other guests include a man who lives in the cellar with a colony of snails and frogs, a suicidal woman who hears voices, Clapet’s daughter Julie (Marie-Laure Dougnac) and Mademoiselle Plusse (Karin Viard) who is Clapet’s mistress. After he rescues her packet of biscuits from the ravenous and greedy lodgers Louison is invited for tea by Julie and a romance begins to bloom. Meanwhile the other house guests are counting the days until the butcher kills Louison so that they can have him for dinner. Julie is determined to save her new man so she heads to the sewers to commission the Troglodytes (an underground organisation) to kidnap Louison. Unfortunately on the very night Clapet determines to kill Louison the Troglodytes kidnap the wrong person so it’s left to Julie and Louison to fend for themselves.
