A village, a red car, three childhood friends. Every day they hang out, living their routine while observing it. Laughter, joints, bad jokes... A day like thousands of others, but one that will forever mark their destiny.
In the 16th century in the Cévennes, a horse dealer by the name of Michael Kohlhaas leads a happy and prosperous family life. When a lord treats him unjustly, this pious, upstanding man raises an army and puts the country to fire and sword in order to have his rights restored.
