Storyline
With his heart set on driving his rickety 1958 Citroën 2CV to sunny Italy, kind-hearted Antoine Maréchal can barely contain his enthusiasm. Dreaming of coming back tanned, instead, poor Antoine sees his ambitious plan turn sour when an annoying traffic accident leaves his car nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.
To add insult to injury, the other driver involved in the accident, Léopold Saroyan, emerged from the incident with barely a scratch. After a brief argument, Saroyan, feeling sorry for the distraught tourist, offers Maréchal the chance to drive a luxurious 1964 Cadillac DeVille Convertible from Naples to Bordeaux, all expenses paid. Thrilled, Maréchal accepts, unaware that the benevolent Good Samaritan is a sly criminal mastermind. But the Cadillac, too, is no different cunning Saroyan has strategically hidden drugs, gold, and precious stones all over the car. With danger lurking in every corner, will Maréchal get home in one piece?
