Dead Man's Hand (2002)

5.4/10 82 min Comedy

Overview

Jean V., a forty-year-old bailiff, practises his profession with talent, but without humanity. He is married to Nicole, a 35-year-old consumer in crisis. Jean regularly calls on the services of George, a chronic debtor and folkloric character, who helps him with his "little tricks". Incidentally, George restores Nicole's taste for buying. One day, Jean meets Eddy, a policeman who accompanies him on his round of seizures. But a dispute between them escalates out of all proportion. Pushed to the limit, Jean decides to work with George on a dark plot to teach the cop a lesson.
