Christmas Eve in Paris. Leo Zimmerman is a businessman who lives for his beloved little daughter’s smile. Outwardly, his life is exemplary.

Overcome with anxiety and paranoia, no longer able to sleep, Leo decides to meet the killer face to face and to broker a strange deal.

The loneliness of the long distance assassin. Somber and slowly paced but rewarding tale of an east europeon thug hired to kill a french businessman who convinces him to spare him a few days putting the killer in danger himself perhaps. Great score by Gregoire Hetzel and beautiful cinematography by the great Caroline Champetier.Melki and Colin well cast here and the less said about Laurent's performance the better.
