Synopsis:

Two friends, one a musician the other constantly depressed arrive in Marseille from Greece. They then head to Paris without a penny to their name. Here they spend nights in the underground, and squat in houses with African immigrants. One day, they meet Mathilde while begging outside a cinema. one of them falls in love with her, but she must depart for New York and leave him there. They then decide to go to NY to find her...

In this light comedy/drama about two friends adjusting to change, François (Gérard Lanvin) and his side-kick Denis (Michel Blanc) come back to Paris from the Mediterranean only to find that the jobs they had been promised are illusory - now they must survive however they can. The two go to live among some African squatters, and since they cannot get a legitimate job, they get an illegal one - transporting stolen goods. Even that proves to be short-lived once they are caught, and so they make plans to go to New York and look for Mathilde (Sophie Duez), the dancer who has captured François's heart. Although the storyline is weak and the protagonists' friendship uncharted territory, this film is entertaining and did quite well when first released in France.

Two friends, one a musician the other constantly depressed wander around Greece and France till they get to Paris without a penny to their name. Here they spend nights in the underground, and squat in houses with the African immigrants. One day they both fall in love with Mathilde a blond dancer and follow her to New York.
