Comedy / Crime

Film Synopsis

Three friends, all in their thirties, are making preparations for what they are sure will be the heist of the century.  They intend to rob a bank, aided by Séverine, the girlfriend of one of the men, who works there as a cashier.  Things get off to a bad start when the would-be crooks lose their transport and end up having to take a bus to the bank.  After that, things go from bad to worse and it soon becomes apparent that none of the three friends is suited for a life of crime.  It doesn't help when they are double-crossed by a professional gangster...
