Fransız gangsterlerin sonuncusu Jacques Mesrine, yaşamı boyunca 1 numaralı halk düşmanı ilan edilmişti. Düzenli olarak kamuoyu anketlerinin zirvesinde yer aldı. Paris'in göbeğinde polisin yakın mesafeden yoğun ateşi altındaki görkemli ölümü onun efsane statüsünü taçlandırdı. Öyle ki, 1979 yılındaki ölümünden 30 yıl sonra bugün bile Jacques Mesrine efsanesi hala capcanlı. Onun hayatı sinema tarihinde ilk kez olarak tutkulu bir projeyle beyazperdeye getiriliyor. Aynı anda hem bir gerilim filmi, hem de biyografi çalışması olan projenin çekimlerinde tarihi gerçeklere olabildiğince sadık kalındı. Mesrine'den bir süper kahraman yaratmak gibi bir amacı olmayan filmde, en karanlık yönleri de dahil olmak üzere bir karakter portresi çizildi. Öykünün çıkış noktası ise, bir ikonun arkasındaki insan oldu.

Continuing a saga that began with his previous, 1978 film, Vautours director Jean-Claude Labrecque returns with the French Canadian, Louis Pelletier and puts him in the context of the growing separatist movement in the late 1960s in Quebec. At that time, supporters of an independent Quebec began to consolidate their power under the Parti Québecois -- and the story of Louis and his wife Claudette are meant to illustrate this watershed in Quebec's history. As the film begins, Claudette and Louis are about to get married -- and their wedding day significantly coincides with preparations for the visit of Queen Elizabeth II. Years later, they are well-established in Montreal and are enjoying visits from their family -- and then their lives start to deteriorate. Louis is suddenly out of work, and as he faces the difficulties of finding another job -- and of living precariously -- he becomes more radical, less accepting of the status quo.
