Short description

Michel and Cathy are a long-married couple living a monotonous life in the mountains. Their routine is shattered when Michel causes a car accident while trying to avoid a bear, resulting in the deaths of two people. Upon discovering two million euros among the victims' belongings, the couple decides to keep the money and hide the bodies. Their clumsy attempts to cover up the crime draw the attention of a persistent police inspector.

This French crime comedy was directed by Franck Dubosc, who also co-wrote the screenplay and served as a producer. It is the third film he has directed, following Rolling to You and Rumba Therapy. The movie stars Franck Dubosc as Michel and Laure Calamy as Cathy, with Benoît Poelvoorde appearing as Major Roland Bodin. The supporting cast includes Joséphine de Meaux, Kim Higelin, and Mehdi Meskar, among a total of 35 credited actors.

Produced by Gaumont, the film earned 12 million USD at the worldwide box office. Audience reception has been generally positive, with a rating of 6.5/10 on IMDb based on 3,100 votes and a score of 6.4/10 on TMDB from 405 votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In France, director, screenwriter, and producer Franck Dubosc is mostly known for his comedies, but this time he wanted to create something darker (inspired by the work of the Coen brothers, and particularly their 1995 crime comedy "Fargo"). At the same time, Dubosc tried to avoid making the film too bleak – to do this, he reduced the level of on-screen violence and used musical accompaniment.
