Plot
1980, in a rural village in the Lyon region, Saint-Julien-sur-Bibost Joseph Poacher says "Jojo" and his wife Lucienne called "Lulu", nagging shrew and inveterate alcoholic, lead a married life for the less confrontational, in their farm located in a place called "Paradise". One day, Jojo watches on TV a story about a brilliant lawyer who is in his twenty-fifth acquittal. Very impressed, Jojo will find it. He tells her he killed his wife while he has not yet done so, by a set of very clever questions, is explaining how he would have had to make to be pretty sure to get the extenuating circumstances. Jojo in then returns to "Paradise" and begins to organize, as directed by the lawyer, the staging of the "perfect crime".
