Thomas and Thomas are lifelong buddies and, like almost every evening, they meet up at their usual bar in Paris. But something is bothering the first Thomas: in fact, the next day Olee and Adam, two Inuit friends of his father, are to arrive from Greenland. His father had moved to the island a while back and was supposed to accompany the two visitors and spend some time with his son in France, but a hunting accident has forced him to stay at home. Thomas, thus, is to be the tour guide for the two strangers, two “Inupiluk,” gangsters on a mission abroad. And the only person he can count on is his slightly reluctant, good friend Thomas…

Declaration
film director
“I liked the idea that these four characters manage to create a true friendship even though they don’t speak the same language, as though the thing uniting them went beyond meaning.”
