When he stumbles upon an abandoned construction site, small-time crook Philippe Miller (François Cluzet, One for the Road, Tell No One, Too Beautiful For You) sees an opportunity to make some money. Claiming to be in charge of reviving the site to build a highway, he convinces everyone of his good will, including the mayor Stéphane (Emmanuelle Devos, A Christmas Tale, Read My Lips, Kings and Queen). But Miller quickly loses control of his own scheme, as this illegal highway gives hope to an entire region plagued with unemployment, giving him a sense of responsibility he had never felt before.

With: François Cluzet, Emmanuelle Devos, Gérard Depardieu, Vincent Rottiers, Soko, Brice Fournier
