Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Following a failed hold-up, leg-hurted Antoine is looking to hide at Elias's home. Nothing reserved the anarchist robber to meet this life-disciplined history teacher. Then, a strange balance of power set in, between ascendency and friendship, before the arrival of Lucie, investigator in charge of the case.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
