"Bagian dari kisah Hougon-Macquart multigenerasional Emile, The Belly of Paris adalah kisah Florent Quenu, seorang pria yang dituduh salah yang lolos dari penjara di Pulau Setan. Kembali ke kota asalnya Paris, Florent menemukan sebuah kota yang nyaris tidak dikenalnya, dengan kelas pekerja yang terlantar untuk memberi jalan bagi jalan-jalan besar dan flat-flat borjuis.
