Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this crime drama, filmed in Paris and Lebanon, a petty thief visits Beirut and gets involved with an old pal's plan to rob a high-stakes gambler. He also encounters a beautiful woman. He and she head for the mountains after he discovers that his enemy is out to get him. He later phones his pal and learns that his enemy is not going to kill him, instead he wants to assist with the robbery. The thief goes back to Beirut, but then decides not to do the caper. He then goes to the casino, observes the gambler, returns to his friends with the news that their mark has won it big, and leaves them. He and the woman leave to live a crime-free life.
