French novelist Vincent Ravalec made his directorial debut with this French drama about small-time crook Gaston (Yvan Attal) who poses as a millionaire after he picks up hitchhiking 16-year-old Marie-Pierre (Virginie Lanoue). Actually living in a seedy apartment, Gaston deals in stolen goods, but he soon climbs to bigger heists, including car thefts. Concealing his illegal activities, Gaston operates his company, Extramill, out of upscale, posh offices, while he and Marie-Pierre move into a sedate upper-middle-class neighborhood. Life is sweet, but the onset of paranoia, kinky sex activities, and police probes eventually culminate in violence.

Герой Луи де Фюнеса - типичный француз. У него стабильный доход и масса милых сердцу предрассудков. Один из них - четкое деление мира на "своих и чужих", "французов" и "всех прочих"- просто не дает Виктору покоя. Впрочем, это мало беспокоят героя - забияку и ортодокса - пока дорога нечаянного приключения не оборачивается для него опасным путешествием в "большой мир"... А там - козни арабских террористов причудливо переплетаются с запуганной историей раввина Якова в Париж, а фабрика жевательной резинки становится полигоном для нешуточных баталий. В фильме много незабываемых трюковых сцен, экспрессивного юмора и французского шарма.

Partly influenced by the Western genre, the film tells the story of a small group of mountainous bandits (escapees of the prison) who fight, in their own way, against the absurdity of the colonialist powers' presence.
