Lyon, present day. When widowed marine biologist Abel (Louis Garrel) learns that his impulsive mum Sylvie (Anouk Grinberg) is once again re-marrying-this time to an inmate she met whilst teaching theatre in prison-he's much more than uncomfortable. Doubting that convicted burglar Michel (Roschdy Zem) is capable of turning over a new leaf, Abel's protective streak kicks in, and so with the help of his best friend Clemence (a sensational Noemie Merlant), he begins tailing his new stepfather's movements. Their amateur sleuthing is quickly uncovered by Michel and triggers an unlikely-and bold-business proposition for them both.... - Rotten Tomatoes
