Julien is on a trip to Mauritius when he and his friend offend the gods of the island. As a result strange things happen to them. Back in Paris, they adjust to normal life, and soon they learn to control their powers for their benefit.
Julien is sent by his boss to Mauritius, where he met Henri, an unemployed professional. One night after drinking, the two men relieve themselves at the foot of a sacred statue. Offended by this sacrilege, the gods punish them by taking away their reflection and making them levitate.—morroviolet
