Synopsis

More Beagle Boys than bandits, Francis and Thomas take Wilfrid, the owner of a carwash which provides a few meagre euros daily, hostage. Overcome by Stockholm Syndrome, but in a very personal way, Wilfrid immediately finds the situation to his taste, he even enjoys theorising about it, while doubt undermines the two accomplices, whose girlfriends from the South have come to join them.
