and girls. He is more or less in love with a cover-girl Vera but doesn’t want
any commitment. One day, he is called to the scene of the murder of a policeman. The killer
is known as Laurent Porte and he is on the run. In fact, Paul has known Laurent
since they were soldiers during the war in Algeria. Laurent saved Paul’s life and
they became friends but lost contact. Now Paul wants to pay Laurent back and will
do anything to find him before the police...
