Murphy's Law
The law of maximum hassle.
Directed by Christophe Campos
Produced by Gaumont
A comedic thriller about a man's final hours before parole spiraling into escalating chaos, balancing humor against mounting obstacles.
After four years in jail, Elias is doing his rehabilitation in an hospital as stretcher bearer. In five hours, his parole will be completed. He will make a fresh start and forget about his past. But that would be forgetting about Murphy's law and its string of problems.
