From the beginning of the introduction it is clear that there is no equilibrium as the opening credits show the riots and violence happening in France. The disruption occurs throughout the film, so it does not follow Toldorov's theory. Near the end, the audience are made to think their will be a resolution, however the main characters get shot. By not having a closed resolution to the film it reminds the audience that 'stories' like this are still happening.
Hubert following fraternity ends being shot, and Saïd is shown to begin the cycle at the end.
Cause & Effect?
