Gérard Depardieu, in one of the most bizarre roles of his career, plays a redundant worker who won't qualify for his state pension unless he collects pay slips from his previous employers.

So he hits the road on his motorbike (a Mammuth) and goes in search of his past, haunted along the way by the ghost of his first love (Isabelle Adjani). Directors Delepine and Kervern have a taste for the weird, though the scene in which Depardieu engages in mutual masturbation with an old man is one I'd rather have missed.
