In the Luxembourg Gardens, two men face each other in a game of chess before an audience that watches them. One, a veteran nicknamed the Matador, has never lost; the other, a young unknown, soon becomes the crowd's favourite. Tension grows as both measure their strategy in a duel that goes beyond the board.
