Film Synopsis
In a fit of jealousy, 20-year-old Jock kills his girlfriend and her lover in a bar. The murders are witnessed by Thia, who runs away with Jock and hides him in a garage near a stretch of wasteland where Thia and his friend Nino practice their car stunts. After a while, Jock is sent to a provincial town to stay with Nino's family. When Jock falls in love with Nino's daughter Celia, Nino hopes to start a new life with Thia, Jock and Celia. But first they have one last robbery to perform. With the help of Weiss and La Huppe, Nino and Thia succeed in breaking into a bank vault, but they are spotted by a policeman who gives the alarm. A few minutes later, the police arrive. In the exchange of gunshots that follows, Nino is fatally wounded, leaving Thia and Weiss no other option but to take flight through some underground mines...© James Travers
