About the film

A French comedy starring Pierre Richard and Gérard Depardieu. When the daughter of a wealthy company president disappears while traveling in Mexico, he hires a private detective to find her. He also sends along his employee François Perrin, a hopelessly accident-prone man who shares the same unlucky nature as his daughter. Hoping this unusual similarity will help them pick up her trail, the two set off on the search. Their journey soon turns into a series of wildly funny and unexpected adventures.
