Sebastien is a 22-year-old struggling to support his immigrant family. While working on a neighbor’s roof, he hears about a package that promises to bring wealth to the family. Knowing it is an opportunity he cannot miss, Sebastien intercepts the package with specific instructions.
Assuming a false identity, he manages to slip through the grasp of the police as he follows the clues.

Saw this a few months ago at a New York City film fest... good stuff, I thought. Well-directed, atmospheric, tense, all that happy jazz.
