Plot
Benoit Delepine plays a harassed businessman who, frazzled by commuting to his office, is working from home against company rules. While arguing with a jobbing farmworker (Gustave Kervern), whose tractor is spraying herbicide into his garden he is summoned to the office by his angry bosses. However, his car becomes stuck behind the tractor. The farmworker will not let him pass, resulting in the businessman missing the train and losing his job. Frustrated, he seeks out the farmworker and assaults him.[1]
The two wake up in hospital, having been crushed by a malfunctioning farm machine as they struggled. They are now confined to wheelchairs and both set out for Finland to seek out the eponymous farm machine manufacturer to demand compensation.
