The Fall of the American Empire
After the decline...
Directed by Denys Arcand
Produced by Cinémaginaire
A darkly comedic crime thriller about ordinary people caught in a moral bind when easy money tempts them into dangerous territory.
A shy and insecure delivery driver arrives on the scene of a robbery-gone-wrong and picks up two bags of cash and hides them in his truck. He is interrogated by two tough police detectives and manages to evade suspicion but he is warned that whoever owns the money will be looking for it. Only the help of a prostitute and a former biker recently released from jail might get him out of trouble.
