2022119 min6.1 / 10

A buddy-cop comedy that balances action and humor through the contrasting personalities of two mismatched detectives solving a case across France.

Ousmane Diakité and François Monge are two cops with very different styles, backgrounds and careers. The unlikely pair are reunited once again for a new investigation that takes them across France. What seemed to be a simple drug deal turns out to be a much bigger criminal case wrapped in danger and unexpected comedy.
