Michel and Cathy, wed for longer than they can remember, lead a quiet but monotonous life in the mountains. When a bear bursts out in front of Michel’s car, accidentally killing two drug dealers and revealing a €2 million loot in the process, their life takes an unpredictable turn, especially when they decide to cover up the incident and keep the money! But their plan leads them to stumble upon an unexplained trail of dead bodies. More used to being honest than crooked, Michel and Cathy’s clumsy cover-up efforts soon put an interfering inspector hot on their trail.

This film, which is both a comedy and a thriller, is a challenge. This blend of genres is often risky: the risk is of making neither a good comedy nor a good thriller. And here it succeeds; we're not bored for a single moment. Laughter softens the harshness of some of the violent scenes and the wacky script is very enjoyable.
