Film Synopsis

Jean-Paul Bolzec is an actor who travels to Azerbaijan to take part in a show for a French company.  On his return to the airport afterwards, his taxi breaks down and he finds himself stranded in the middle of nowhere.  He continues his journey on foot, but ends up unwittingly crossing the border into Armenia, which has been at war with Azerbaijan for many years.  Unable to speak a word of the language, he has difficulty making himself understood.  Some of the villagers he encounters mistake him for the Messiah, whilst others are equally convinced that he is a dangerous spy.  Bolzec must use all of his skills as an actor if he is to survive this escapade and make a safe return to France...
