Money (2017)
Directed by Géla Babluani

Film Synopsis

In common with many young people in their milieu, Danis and Eric are finding it virtually impossible to make ends meet.  Occasional dock workers in the French port of Le Havre, they earn barely enough to support themselves let alone their families, so when an opportunity to make some easy money comes their way they grab it with both hands and ask no questions.  It so happens that Eric's sister Alex has just witnessed the delivery of a suitcase filled with banknotes to a large house that would be cinch to break into.  The money is still sitting there - waiting to be collected!

Eric and Danis are easily tempted by the prospect of a readily acquired goldmine and waste no time in carrying out their criminal exploit.  But on entering the house under the cover of darkness, they are surprised to find its occupant, a corrupt politician named Mercier, in the process of committing suicide.  Little do the enterprising amateur burglars realise that Mercier is an important secretary of state who is mixed up with some dangerous drugs traffickers.  Before they know it, Eric and his friends are sucked into a deadly vortex from which there is apparently no hope of escape.  They are not the first people to be lured to their doom by money...
