Martin (Martin Lamotte) is probably a little cracked in the head. Why else would he pick up a suspicious-looking hitchhiker (Pierre Richard) when he's been hearing about a dangerous escaped convict on the radio? It's not until the man is already in his car that he realizes that he could have a dangerous person on board. What's more, he can't seem to shake his now unwelcome hitchhiker. Eventually, he leaves his car behind altogether and becomes a hitchhiker himself. For a while this seems to work, and he even gets to have a brief affair with a woman who picks him up, but like a bad penny, his car and the hitchhiker catch up with him again... ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
