The story takes us back to Shrove Tuesday in 1967. Seventeen-year-old Françoise is a boarder in a Catholic High School. Convinced she only has one night to live before she dies, she sneaks out with her friend Delphine to attend a costume party and live this night as if it were her last.

我帮村里捕了五年野猪。 村民们却质问我： “听说你捕一只野猪就能赚三千，这些年你得私吞多少钱？！” “没有野猪下山攻击我们，你能有机会捕吗？功劳是我们的，便宜却让你给占了！” 我占便宜？给我气笑了。 我保护全村五年免受野猪的侵害，到头来说我占便宜？ 好好好，我不干了行了吧？这天大的便宜谁爱占谁占去！ 后来，野猪撞伤好几人后，村民们又想起了我： “小李啊，我们全村一致同意你继续捕野猪，你走大运了，离了我们谁还能这么宠你？” 无耻至极，还想让我回去冒着危险捕野猪，做你们的春秋大梦去吧！
