Pierrot escapes his boring society and travels from Paris to the Mediterranean Sea with Marianne, a girl chased by hit-men from Algeria. They lead an unorthodox life, always on the run.

Ferdinand Griffon, married to a wealthy Italian wife, has recently been fired from the television station where he worked. His wife forces him to go to a party at the home of her influential father, who wants to introduce him to a potential employer. Her brother brings babysitter Marianne Renoir to take care of their children. Feeling bored at the bourgeois party, Ferdinand borrows his brother-in-law's car to head home. He meets Marianne, who was his mistress five years ago and insists on calling him Pierrot, and offers to take her home. They spend the night together and he learns that she's involved in smuggling weapons. When terrorists chase her, they decide to leave Paris and his family behind and go on the run, on a crazy journey to nowhere.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Trapped in a dead-end marriage and an equally uneventful life, Ferdinand Griffon--an idealistic, intellectual, bored-to-death layabout--wants out. Suddenly, after a brief sojourn in the apartment of his capricious, impulsive, and enigmatic old flame, Marianne Renoir, opportunity knocks, and just like that, Ferdinand decides to leave his wife and the bourgeois world behind. Now, two kindred spirits flee Paris for the south of France in a stolen car. However, there is more to the blue-eyed coquette than meets the eye. Before long, the police enters the picture, and the two partners-in-crime find themselves running away from foreign thugs and their past. And, whether they like it or not, there is no turning back. But is this the price of freedom?—Nick Riganas
