A cheeky and moving small gem of a film; a nice surprise. It’s a story of friendship between two childhood friends who make a living from petty crime. One is mute and speaks little, while the other is cultured, talkative and takes up space, harassing his willing childhood friend. This is a small gem which, despite it’s size, scintillates. The characters are unlike anything you’ve seen before in this genre. They are rounded, intelligent and engaging characters; entirely unlike the characters from more cliched. Director Jean-Baptiste Durand manages to make these characters touching, or at least human. He doesn’t judge them. Through their behavior, he shows their deeper malaise. These are lonely characters. We follow them in their daily routines, between the villagers, the mother of one of them, their buddies, and the suppliers for the small traffic they do.
