R2I, a famous news radio station, sends its best duo of reporters to Iraq. Very quickly, millions of listeners follow their detailed reports, reflecting the intensity of the fighting and the population’s struggle to survive... The problem is, they’ve never set foot in Iraq. They’re recording their thrilling stories from Barbès.
Envoyés Très Spéciaux
Frank Bonneville, dashing radio reporter and ladies' man, sees his assignment in Iraq as a chance to cement his place at the top of his profession. His reports from the frontline capture the public's imagination, boost the station's audience and make Frank a star. Except they're not from the frontline. Frank's technician, Albert Poussin, mislaid their supply of cash, making them miss their flight. They are in fact holed up at a friend's steam baths in a seedy part of Paris. As it becomes increasingly difficult to conceal the truth, they are driven to greater extremes of duplicity with potentially tragic consequences. And when's a good time for Frank to tell Albert he slept with his beloved Françoise?
