    • Synopsis
    • Kiko's been undercover for months and on the big day the job goes exactly to plan. With his accomplices, Gilles and Pera, he leaves the bank in central Paris with 45 million euros in three Vuitton bags. But Kiko didn't plan on Titi, their getaway driver, being called away to pick up his daughter from kindergarten.
      Without a car, Kiko's next great idea is to lie low in a police station until everything dies down. Fair enough, it's the last place anyone will look for them. Trouble is, the station captain is Lydie, Gilles's ex-girlfriend, and she immediately connects them to the heist. So the gang's in a mess and Lydie's facing a dilemma. Be a hero and arrest them all, or be smart and run off with Gilles and his gang, and 45 million euros?
      Akim Isker's debut feature is a snappy urban action comedy featuring a gang of bank robbers who risk losing more than their freedom when they hide out in a police station. As they soon find out, the only difference between cops and robbers is that the cops have a badge. The movie's writer Jalil Naciri, Gilles Bellomi and Ahcen Titi star as robbers kicking against the system, and Samira Lachhab plays Lydie, the police captain tempted to take a walk on the wild side.
