Marie (Bulle Ogier), a bank robber just out of prison, can no longer stand to live between four walls. Baptiste (Pascale Ogier) comes from somewhere else, or so she says, and intends to live by her own rules. (Note that as a French given name Baptiste (disambiguation) is masculine, but is here played by an actress.) Their paths cross three times in a matter of hours. Baptiste believes that it’s fate; she must accompany Marie and protect her. Together they investigate a surreal mystery that includes a briefcase stuffed with obsessive political intrigue, civic redevelopment, a huge mechanical, flame-spewing dragon and several characters all named Max. They invent a dangerous real-life game imagining Paris as a mysterious large scale board on which they play. The plot takes structure from a French children's game, Game of the Goose (Jeu de l'oie), which layers a make shift design over a map of Paris.
