Film Synopsis

France is doing everything it can to combat racial prejudice, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the police service.  The latest beneficiary of a campaign of positive discrimination is 25-year-old Khalid Belkacem, a man who has failed at just about everything else in his life.  He is so inept that he couldn't even pass his driving test!  But this is France, the country that believes in giving everyone a chance, no matter how congenitally useless they are.  The police need men like Khalid...
