Film Synopsis
Philippe has not been long out of prison when he strikes up an acquaintance
in a Parisian bar with a Kurdish militant named Adval. The latter is
hunting an Iraqi criminal and hopes that he will be able to remain in France
with his fiancée Siba. With Philippe's help, Adval makes preparations
to bring Siba over to Paris, but before these can be put into effect the
Kurd suddenly dies from a heart attack. Naturally, Philippe is devastated
by the loss of his new friend and is unsure how the body should be disposed
of. It seems he must take care of the funeral arrangements, but as
he does so Siba suddenly turns up, accompanied by Adval's father. Before
he knows it, Philippe has a whole host of problems to deal with, all because
of a chance meeting in a bar...
