The funniest fraud a fall-guy ever fell for!

ComedyCrime

In this Frenco-Italian gangster parody, a shop keeper on his way to an Italian holiday suffers a crash which totals his car. The culprit can only compensate his ruined trip by driving an American friends car from Napels to Bordeaux, but as it happens to be filled with such contraband as stolen money, jewelry and drugs, the involuntary and unwitting companions in crime soon attract all but recreational attention from the "milieu".

VIBE

This is a rollicking, lighthearted caper that throws an unsuspecting everyman into a whirlwind of comedic chaos. Expect a propulsive road trip filled with mistaken identities and escalating, farcical crime, all wrapped in a charmingly retro European style. It's a delightful, breezy ride.
