Synopsis

Thirty-something Gregory Morel has inherited his father’s position as a Judicial Officer. He enforces and recovers court orders and legal claims, including bankruptcy, property seizures, and evictions. Not a very exciting job. While making his rounds collecting debts, he meets reclusive singer Michel Delpech. The retired 70s French pop idol has accumulated years of unpaid taxes and parking tickets. Morel, whose father adored Delpech and played his songs throughout Morel’s childhood, cannot bring himself to confiscate the singer’s belongings. So, he decides to help Delpech settle his debts...
