Synopsis
Two neighbours living in the country, somewhere in northern France, have grown to hate one another.  Their interminable feud almost costs them their lives when, in the course of another falling out, a skip collapses on top of them.  Paralysed from the waist down, they leave hospital in wheelchairs.  Meeting by chance on a railway platform, they agree to embark on a fantastic project together: to claim compensation from the manufacturer of the skip that has blighted their lives.  Their enmity buried, the two neighbours can finally get to know one another...
