Film Synopsis

Living on the margins of society, Camille, Dov and Joelle make a dishonest living by committing small-scale robberies.  Their dream is to live on an island in the Pacific, and this they believe they can realise by holding up the cashier at a local cinema.  When they make their getaway they accidentally trigger the alarm system, unaware that Camille's elder brother Pierre is nearby, performing his own robbery.  Taken unawares, Pierre is caught red-handed and ends up in police custody.  The three young criminals decide to kidnap Dekervan, the police officer in charge of the investigation, and exchange him for Pierre.  They have no idea of the gravity or consequences of their actions...
