Louis Trebor is an ex-mercenary who lives in the Jura Mountains. He is a cold man, but he faces trouble when he suffers increasingly from his heart condition. Desperately, he leaves for first Korea and then Tahiti in search of a heart on the black market to get a transplant. During his travels, he appears to be followed by a mysterious Russian woman, among other enigmatic figures who cross paths with him.

Adrian Martin: “Claire Denis constructs her films according to a poetic intuition: the images and sounds do not exist to illustrate a pre-given story; rather, the story must arise only in a montage of possibilities, speculative and virtual. L’Intrus goes far in this direction.”
