- Synopsis
- Suburbs of Marseille, France. Marco and Ibrahim, two young jobless thugs are making easy money doing small cons. They pretend to be a “help at home” service company, targeting lonely elders. We follow them on their last con, but they - as usual - burn through the cash rather quickly. After several cons, Marco and Ibrahim aren’t looking for jobs. They become attracted to easy money. However, unexpected family problems will force them to elborate their biggest project : A murder Con.
  
  As luck as would have it, they run into an old friend, who works as a gardener at a luxurious villa. He tells them about Caroline Capolina, a wealthy woman, who is a shut-in. She seems paranoid, and never leaves the villa. They convince the gardener to work with them. The gardener resists at first, but ultimately helps them. He tells the woman about a company called “The Cleaners” which can “clean” any mess in secret.
  
  One month later, Caroline is getting back to her villa, only to find a dead body in living room. While the woman is immediately shocked, a cool calm washes over her, and she calls “The Cleaners”. Ibrahim shows up with his uncle's van, ready to get the con done quick and fast.
  
  While Marco pretends to be an expert in forensic using complicated words, Caroline begins to be excited and gets curious about his method. Her somewhat sexual demeanor shocks Ibrahim who is trying to keep calm. After a tense discussion, he convinces her to get the cash to pay him for the cleaning. Caroline however is running out of cash and propose to help him to cut the body in pieces to help him out. Caroline spotted their little con from a mile away. She enjoys tormenting him. They haven’t realized yet, they are the preys...
