L’action se déroule au Québec où trois travailleurs de l'Est de Montréal partent pour une fin de semaine de chasse en forêt. Pour ces hommes d’un milieu modeste, la chasse représente liberté et compagnonnage viril. Les trois amis, accompagnés du fils de l’un d’eux, passent la première nuit de leur périple dans un motel où ils boivent et harcèlent la serveuse du bar. Sous le regard désabusé de l’adolescent qui les observe, ils laissent paraître leurs fragilités et les contraintes de leurs vies ordinaires, jusqu’au dénouement dramatique de ce temps d’une chasse.

Toni (Nardi) is the director of a staged rendition of Othello in Montreal. It is a pet project of his, financed by his mafia uncle. Unbeknownst to him, the audiences are also rounded up and paid by the same uncle. Some of them have seen every performance of this tragic play, and are understandably bored, so when the backstage romantic events of the actors result in absurd situations onstage, the audience is delighted. There are a huge number of romantic situations going on in this film at the same time. One of them involves Gaston (Lapointe), a somewhat world-weary jazz musician, and Florence (Marleau), a glamorous middle-aged woman who has been pining for him for years. Another involves to members of the musician's jazz trio. Yet another involves the play's Desdemona, Soledad (Laurier), the girlfriend of the man playing Othello, who can't keep his hands off his dresser. She is also Florence's niece.
