After he accidentally burns down his house during a "scientific" experiment, he moves in with his impulsive twin sister Fanfan (Anne Brochet), who is married to Charles "the Aluminum King" (Richard Bohringer). In his new surroundings, Barjo continues his old habits: cataloging old science magazines, testing bizarre inventions and filling his notebooks with his observations about human behavior and his thoughts about the end of the world. Through Barjo's journals we see the development of conflict and sexual tension between Fanfan and Charles, and the descent of Charles into madness. ==Cast== Richard Bohringer as Charles Anne Brochet as Fanfan Hippolyte Girardot as Barjo Consuelo De Haviland as Madame Hermelin Renaud Danner as Michel Nathalie Boutefeu as Gwen Jac Berrocal as Mage Gerardini Camille Gentet as Fanfan enfant Charles-Elie Rouart as Barjo enfant ==Production== Filming took place in the autumn of 1991, in Annecy, Faverges and Thorens-Glières (Haute-Savoie).
