Episodic and unflinchingly realistic, this docudrama offers a seldom-seen look into the lives of Montreal's homeless as it tells the story of a veteran beggar, Marcel, and his neophyte panhandler-buddy Joseph. Most of the time, the down-and-out duo spend their days walking about, talking to their equally less-fortunate and very eccentric peers. Though such wandering is seemingly aimless, Marcel is actually quietly searching for his long-lost and suicidal friend Stanley, in hopes of saving his life. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

1978  
 
While he is visiting his client Marcial (Victor Lanoux) in prison, leftist lawyer Duroc (Pierre Richard) is caught up in a prison riot. When Marcial takes him along during his jailbreak, Duroc is assumed by the authorities to have engineered the escape. The two of them are now both on the run. It is 1968, and a wild revolutionary current makes the streets unsafe for ordinary citizens while providing these two fugitives with many opportunities. Even though Marcial, a cheerfully right-wing murderer, disagrees with Duroc about politics, he is sufficiently fond of him to ensure that he is exonerated from blame for the escape. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
