Plot

Sophie hasn’t seen her father for at least ten years. She’s gotten used to it and has built a life of her own. One morning, she learns that he is wanted for murder and that she has a half-sister. Her name is Virginie, and her motto is: “I don’t give a damn.” Almost against their will, they set out in search of their father. Between Paris, Brussels, and Amsterdam, they meet Simon. Not exactly Prince Charming.

Sinekatalog’s take

A road drama in which two half-sisters, strangers until now, set off to find their murder-suspect father across European cities. Their clash of temperaments provides much of the interest. A scrappy choice for fans of French road dramas.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
