Jean-Gab (Marsais) and Manu (Ludig) are two simple-minded friends who are shocked to find a giant fly in the boot of their car. They soon decide to train it so they can earn some much-needed cash, which gets them into several further situations, each one as bizarre as the last…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
