synopsis
Meant to be a stylistic take-off, this low-budget, first-time crime story by Gilbert Vergnes is an uneven ride into the minds and hearts of gangsters, detectives, and New Wave cinema. As the anti-hero wanders aimlessly like a tumbleweed, his innermost feelings are the subject of a running narration. Like most people, he has his gripes until love comes along and starts to re-arrange his world view. He runs into a detective in the process of burying a friend mistakenly killed by drug dealers, and the two take off for Morocco in search of the culprits. Once there, the drifter falls for the detective's wife.
