Eight-year-old Alex and his friends Samantha, Jean, Mathilde, Renata, Maxime, Douglas, and Dominique gather to watch the Arthur film trilogy.

They then come across a house where an inhabitant, with his dogs, warns them about the dangerous surroundings and shoots his gun to scare the friends away, making them run back to their car.

After finding out that Maxime is injured, Alex, Jean and Dominique take him to the car to get him to the hospital and search for Douglas.

The boys rush back to the house to warn the girls, until the unidentified person cuts down the front porch swing Samantha is sitting on.

Suddenly, after successfully saving Samantha, Alex gets knocked out by a strange monster who fooled them by blending into the walls.

Out of nowhere, Renata gets stabbed by a group of Minions, who fight the Matassalai, and Samantha gets attacked by a person dressed up as the villain Maltazard, who chokes her to death.

Suddenly, Alex, Samantha and Jean are saved by the paranoid inhabitant of the house, who points his gun at the attackers and shoots them.

Three years ago, the teenagers did a role-play game on Batman vs. Superman by jumping off buildings thinking they could fly.

When they found out about the Arthur films, they decided to role-play those at the house for the weekends, take drugs, fight and some of them end up dead, which is tragic what they do to each other.

In the aftermath, Alex, Samantha and Jean leave in a police van and take them to the infirmary, unaware of the unidentified person observing them from the house.

Écran Large and Télérama were both derisive, with Écran Large saying it's "the absolute renunciation of everything that founded [Luc Besson's] cinema, and Télérama saying "What ensues is a killing game as imaginative as a credit card receipt, suffered by young unknown actors (including Thalia Besson, the producer's daughter) who probably did not deserve this.
