A « melancomical » odyssee trough Europe. The unemployed actor Franky spends his days smoking and dreaming of his career to get started. One day his manager Arsène just puts him into a stolen car and heads off north – claiming to have an appointment with Franky’s idolized director above the Arctic Circle. In search of the silver screen idol, a bizarre trip through unfamiliar territories begins...
Franky est un acteur de seconde zone en pleine dépression. Arsène, son manager, croit en son potentiel de star,
et l'embarque sur les routes d'une Europe improbable, à la recherche d'un cinéaste mythique, direction le cercle polaire. Une odyssée « mélancomique » entre vitamines et somnifères, rock'n roll et femmes fatales.
