and Rome, Michel returns to his hometown of Marseilles to attend the
funeral of his aunt. It is a great family occasion and Michel
meets up with his sister Jeanne, his cousins and his uncle.
During the service, Michel's car is stolen by his nephew, Mino.
Aware that his car contains several confidential documents and a gun,
