Marie (Bulle Ogier), a bank robber just out of prison, can no longer bear to live between four walls. Baptiste (Pascale Ogier) says she comes from somewhere else and intends to live by her own rules. (Note that as a French given name Baptiste is masculine, but is here played by an actress.)
Their paths cross three times in a matter of hours. Baptiste believes that it is 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 its structure from a French children's game, Game of the Goose (Jeu de l'oie), which overlays a makeshift design on a map of Paris.
