SYNOPSIS David Pelame a la quarantaine. Il est marié à Christine depuis assez longtemps pour avoir oublié qu’ils s’aimaient autrefois. Il a deux enfants avec qui la communication se fait de plus en plus rare. Professionnellement, David n’est jamais devenu le grand avocat associé d’un cabinet de renom qu’il rêvait d’être, mais plutôt un simple gratte-papier qui excelle dans les tâches les plus rébarbatives. Bref, la vie de David ne fait pas rêver. Si on avait un conseil à lui donner ?… Ce serait qu’il se ressaisisse. C’est ce qu’il va faire, en découvrant, le soir de Noël, une valise pleine de cocaïne et un téléphone croulant sous les appels de clients. David pense alors avoir trouvé le moyen de relancer sa vie. Si on avait un second conseil à donner à David ? … Ce serait qu’il y réfléchisse à deux fois. BORDERLINE Forty-five year-old David Pelame has been married to Christine long enough to have forgotten they were once in love. As for his two children, they have less and less to share with him.

And that’s just what he’s about to do, when on New Year’s Eve he discovers a suitcase filled with cocaine and a phone ringing non-stop with call from eager clients, it looks like has finally found the solution to his life problems. And if we had a second word of advice for David, what would it be? Think twice… |
