Petites misères (2002)
Film Synopsis
Jean, a 40-year-old bailiff, exercises his professional duties with talent but with little sign of humanity. He is married to Nicole, 35, a compulsive consumer in crisis. Jean regularly makes use of George, a debtor who is always ready to lend a helping hand. It is through George's efforts that Nicole regains her taste for spending. One day, Jean meets up with Eddy, a cop who used to accompany him in his line of work. It is not a happy reunion and they soon fall out. In a fit of pique, Jean makes up his mind to teach Eddy a lesson, with a little help from his friend Georges...© James Travers
