Marie ([[Bulle Ogier]]), a bank robber just out of prison, can no longer bear to live between four walls.

''Le Pont du Nord'' stars Bulle and [[Pascale Ogier]] as two women who randomly meet and investigate a strange and surreal mystery together involving a strange package and several characters all named Max.

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.
