Faces, corpses galore, a bag full of bills, an icy road… These frank references to Fargo (1996), by the Coen brothers, gives style to the work without erasing the franchouillard touch of its instigator. It starts very strong with a spectacular slip. Michel (Franck Dubosc), a nurseryman specializing in the sale of fir trees, travels through the Jura mountains at the wheel of his pick-up.

What followed was the death of its two occupants who went out for a bathroom break, leaving behind 2 million euros in the trunk. Annoyed, Michel leaves the place neither seen nor known… Back at the chalet, he asks his wife and partner, Cathy (Laure Calamy) for advice.
