Film Synopsis

Gilbert and M.G. are two notorious crooks who have just broken out of jail.  Pursued by the police, they take refuge in a house belonging to the well-heeled Roze family.  They receive a surprisingly warm welcome from Béatrice and her daughter Magali, who are only slightly bothered that they will now have to cancel the dinner they had planned for that evening, to celebrate Béatrice and Daniel's 20th wedding anniversary.  Just why are the Rozes being so compliant?  Anyone would think they had wanted to be taken hostage for years.  Gilbert and MG soon discover that things are not what they seem...
