A freak run-in with a black bear drives Michel (Franck Dubosc) off the road one wintry Christmas Eve, leading to the deaths of two strangers.
Instead of reporting the accident, he panics and flees. His long-suffering wife Cathy (Laure Calamy), an ardent fan of crime novels, points out the obvious: with his prints all over the deceased’s car, suspicion will fall on him – and they can’t afford bail. Dubosc, one of France’s most established comedians, is on his fifth outing as a director in a tale with echoes of the Coen Brothers.
Advisory content: strong bloody violence, injury detail, strong language
"Every scene is beautifully written and played, with the comic timing judged to perfection."
