J' AI TOUJOURS REVE D' ETRE UN GANGSTER ( I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A GANGSTER) (French)
The Story:
A French motorway diner forms the backdrop to the four interconnecting stories.
Story (1): Franck (Edouard Baer) botching a hold-up at the diner; the waitress Suzie (Anna Mouglalis), however, takes pity on him and shares her own story. She reveals that she too had considered robbing the place until getting disheartening peak at the anemic cash register.
Story (2): Two incompetent kidnappers Leon (Bouli Lanners) and Paul (Serge Lariviere) snatch a teenage girl Malaury (Selma El Mouissi), from her rich family but, unfortunately for them, she is suicidal and her family don’t want her back.
Story (3): Two ageing French rock stars (Alain Bashung and Arno playing themselves) who meet by chance and discuss their careers over a meal at the diner.
Story (4): Four former gangsters smuggle an old friend out of the hospital for a nostalgic trip to their former hideout, only to discover that the familiar log cabin has long since been razed and replaced with a modest diner that provides no means for lying low.
As many characters, as many different destinies, though led more by accident and mistake than by grand design. But due to a love affair that links their fates, they finally manage to catch a glimpse of a better future.
