Gerard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere are two small time criminals who spend each day stealing cars, bicycles, and money, seemingly without remorse. Right from the start, we see the pair of misfits following a woman down a street carrying a bag of groceries. At her doorway, they get intimate while eating her food and stealing purse.
They next proceed to take a car for a joy ride and then bring it back to the owner, who pulls a gun and threatens to call the police. He shoots Dewaere in the groin but they manage to get the gun from him and take off with his girlfriend, a young blonde named Marie, who later explains that the guy is her boss at a beauty salon. The trio go to another place and Marie gets it on with a third guy who complains that she just lies there with no emotion during sex. The first two have the same experience with her.
They come upon a middle aged woman walking alone carrying a suitcase. They convince her to tag along with them to a store where she buys clothes with money they provide to her. Next up is a three way at a hotel, after which she kills herself. They find letters in her suitcase from her son who is getting out of prison. They introduce him to their blonde friend, Marie for more sexual escapades. They join him for a supposed robbery which turns into a shootout. Back to Marie in yet another stolen car which breaks down near a lake. They see a family at a picnic and leave with their car and also take the teenage daughter for a ride. She provides more fun for the boys and Going Places doesn't really have a conventional ending.
