A very nice black comedy from France. I don't watch a lot of modern French films made after the invasion of Besson. I came across this movie by chance and the description seemed interesting to me.

And in general, I was satisfied and recommended it to my friends for viewing.

It's a sitcom with dark undertones, but it's not dark or bloody.

The main character with his beard at first reminded me of a typical hipster. But he plays a simple hard worker who is out of work and in a difficult financial situation.

It so happened that one of his acquaintances is connected with shady cases. He offered him to do murders for money.

The film is quite inventive. He keeps in suspense in episodes with murders, but at the same time does not allow the main character to turn into a cold-blooded inveterate scoundrel who kills anyone. These episodes are replaced by scenes of the protagonist's daily life, where he is also shown from the human side and causes sympathy.

The ending of the film is open, as it should be in such cases.
