Film Synopsis
Thirty-something Gabriel lives alone in Paris with his daughter
Juliette. A former police officer who was forced to retired
because of a personal drama, he struggles to make ends meet. One
day, an old acquaintance offers him a well-paid job. If he
agrees, Gabriel must transport suitcases around the world for unnamed
clients. On no account must he ask any questions about the
contents of the suitcases or attempt to open them. Aware that the
job, dubious as it may seem, offers a way out of his present financial
difficulties, Gabriel accepts. From Istanbul to Bruges via China,
he leaps from one private aeroplane to another with his mysterious
cargo and it isn't long before his pockets are lined with cash.
His daughter may complain about his absence from home but by now it is
too late to have second thoughts...
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
