A dark neo-noir thriller about a misogynistic serial killer terrorizing Paris through phone calls, driven by paranoia and the cat-and-mouse hunt between killer and detective.

A serial-killer frightens Paris by phoning young ladies at night, telling them insults about their lives. Minos, as he calls himself, wants to prevent the world from free women and he targets at first these ones. Commissaire Letellier is given the investigation and he has hard work with the maniac.
