Synopsis Fred and Elodie are young and married. They have a little girl called Séverine. They live in a decent apartment in a housing project that is better than most. Fred is a mechanic. He works hard to provide for them all. One day, he comes home to find the apartment empty. Elodie has left him for an older and richer man, who can buy her the expensive perfumes and beautiful clothes that she craves. Fred buys a gun, goes to see his best friend Sandrine and holds up the Post Office where she works. The duo escape together. They spend their first night on the run in a school where they meet Maguette, a huge African man who tells them that he is the "future king" of his native country. Stronger and wiser than they, he soon becomes their guardian angel. Pursued by the police, the trio heads south on the motorway, hunting for Elodie. Condemned to steal to live, Fred, Sandrine and Maguette play at Robin Hood and distribute wads of notes all around. Little by little, Fred learns to notice the world around him and opens his eyes to the love that Sandrine offers him… Festival selections |
