It’s the end of the 1970s. After leaving prison, Eddy, a Belgian in his 40s returns to the Swiss city Vevey. He is welcomed by his friend Osman who gives him a place to stay in exchange for babysitting his daughter Samira. It is Christmas but the spirit of togetherness mixed with a lack of money make Eddy even more bitter. When Charlie Chaplin’s death is announced on TV, the thief has an idea of how to win his fortune. What if he were to steal the corpse and demand a ransom from the family? From the same director of Of Gods and Men. Shown at the Venice Film Festival 2014.
