Sauvage begins in a doctor's surgery. A young man (Félix Maritaud) complains of a hacking cough. A bespectacled older man listens carefully. He instructs the young man to strip. The young man does so. The older man palpates the young man's torso. He tells him to remove his underwear. The scene starts to clarify its meaning. The young man is not a patient. The older man is not a physician. The cough, however, is real.

自由自在地生活，但要付出一定的代价

抢救从医生的手术开始。一个年轻人（FélixMaritaud）抱怨黑客咳嗽。一个戴眼镜的老人仔细听着。他指示年轻人脱衣。年轻人这样做。老人摸了摸年轻人的躯干。他告诉他脱下内衣。场景开始阐明其含义。这个年轻人不是病人。年长的男人不是医师。但是，咳嗽是真实的。
