2009
96 minutes
A discreet thief and a frustrated teacher fall for each other and she follows him when he has to run away from the police. Sumptuously handled and photographed, this stylized combination of road-movie and romantic drama evoking Badlands or Breathless looks like two films awkwardly combined into one, but there's a real filmmaking talent shining underneath. The last performance by actor Guillaume Depardieu, who died in October 2008, after the shooting was completed.

A Les Films Hatari presentation/production, in co-production with Le Studio Orlando, with the participation of Centre National de la Cinématographie, with the support of Région Île-de-France and Région Alsace, with the participation of Canal Plus and Cinécinéma.
