A sadean "huit clos". Originally inspired by Octave Mirbeau's Garden of Torture. A banquet organized by a lord (Hervé de Luze) and his companion (Anne Angel), turns into an orgy and the forced marriage of two guests. Happiness in crime, hence the title of the film. The film was shot with real blood and animal skulls.

Patrice Enard’s ‘Pourvoir’ is a film mainly comprised of images of women in nature, his style is stark and repetitive, shots are angular, which both hide and reveal.
