At the start of the video, Mylène Farmer kills Rambo Kolawski in a duel. In a previous music video, "Plus grandir", Farmer's character is rapped by Kolawski's.
Presented on 18 June 1986 in preview at the cinema of the Champs-Élysées, this music video was notable for its length (10 minutes 53 seconds).
It is said to be the first instance of full-frontal nudity made by a singer in a major music video.
The music video "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces" is a sequel to "Libertine".
