Film Synopsis

When Ben falls ill with cancer and learns that he has only a short time to live, his brother Léo is devastated.  Léo loves his brother and, to make his last days on Earth more bearable, he decides to use this opportunity to fulfil a childhood dream - to hold up a bank.  Without delay, Léo gathers together his friends and makes all of the necessary preparations  Of course, they are not going to carry out a real hold-up, just a pretend one.  Unfortunately, the friends mix up the bank's address and end up unwittingly performing a real hold-up.  As Léo and his friends go on the run, Inspector Bartoloméo sets out to find them.  What started out as a harmless game soon becomes something much more serious...
