After the sudden shutdown of their company, the factory workers, led by Louise (played by the iconic Yolande Moreau, 2009 César for Best Actress in Séraphine), are determined to get their revenge on the boss responsible for the relocation. They hire Michel (Bouli Lanners), an incompetent hit man who proves unable to do the job. Louise decides to take matters in her own hands and teams up with Michel to hunt down the "boss." Along the way, the eccentric duo encounter a mad scientist (Benoît Poelvoorde), a singer (French pop artist Philippe Katerine) and a farmer played by writer-director-actor Mathieu Kassovitz who also co-produced the film.
