Two tapes, two Parisian mob killers, one corrupt policeman, an opera fan, a teenage thief, and the coolest philosopher ever filmed all twist their way through an intricate and stylish French-language thriller.

On New Year's Eve, among the tower blocks of a huge housing estate in Paris, strange people - each for a different reason - are looking for the home of a man called Bob.
