Tomaso
(Vanessa Paradis) gets out of jail, and goes looking for Léo
(Jean-Paul Belmondo) and Julien (Alain Delon), one of whom - it appears
- is her father. On the way, she makes a bid mistake by stealing a car
that belongs to the Russian Mafia and arrives at her destination with
a gang of thugs looking for her. With murder and mayhem erupting all
around her, Léo and Julien join together to protect Tomaso while
trying to discover which is the true father. The three of them fight
the Mob, concoct a plot to rob the gang and attempt to secure a paternity
test. Mayhem and murder ensue, as Delon and Belmondo compete, not to
win the girl, but just for the right to call themselves her father.
Vanessa
Paradis is a renowned French actress, but she has a more lucrative career
as a singer. At age 14, her song Joe Le Taxi charted successfully
in 15 countries. In 1990, she won a 'César' (French equivalent
of the Oscar) for her debut role in the controversial WHITE
WEDDING. She continued to star in other films [including the
striking SciFi Monster movie ATOMIK
CIRCUS] but decided to concentrate on her private life with
Johnny Depp and their children. However, after 15 years together, she
and Johnny went their separate ways in 2012. Delon and Belmondo enjoyed
a mega smash called Borsalino in 1970. Since the release
of that movie, they have both become French legends. This film - made
thirty years later - marks their return to motion pictures as co-stars.
