Film Synopsis

François is a filmmaker who wants to make a film about heroine, a homage to his wife who died from an overdose.  He intends giving the lead role to Lucie, an actress he has fallen for.  Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, no one appears to want to finance the film.  Then he is offered a huge amount of money if, in exchange, he will take a suitcase containing a large quantity of heroine from one country to another.
