Film Synopsis

Thirty-something Gabriel lives alone in Paris with his daughter Juliette.  A former police officer who was forced to retired because of a personal drama, he struggles to make ends meet.  One day, an old acquaintance offers him a well-paid job.  If he agrees, Gabriel must transport suitcases around the world for unnamed clients.  On no account must he ask any questions about the contents of the suitcases or attempt to open them.  Aware that the job, dubious as it may seem, offers a way out of his present financial difficulties, Gabriel accepts.  From Istanbul to Bruges via China, he leaps from one private aeroplane to another with his mysterious cargo and it isn't long before his pockets are lined with cash.  His daughter may complain about his absence from home but by now it is too late to have second thoughts...
