Storyline

A shaman from the South American rain forest visits France for a public relations campaign. In a hotel's elevator in Paris he meets a French good-for-nothing named Perrin he's fascinated with. He follows Perrin to his flat and although Perrin is not very enthusiastic about so much interest in his person, he lets the shaman spend the night in his flat. After an official meeting on the next day being part of the PR campaign the shaman suffers from a heart attack. Hardly being able to speak and laying in a hospital bed he demands to see Perrin. The latter is not very interested in meeting the shaman again. However it looks like it is to late for animosities as the shaman and Perrin seem to be tied mentally somehow since they've met in the elevator. Written by Oliver Heidelbach

Very amusing (and good for training your french)
9 December 2003 | by – See all my reviews

Very easy-going ander rather sweet movie, with some very funny elements. Nice acting from singer Patrick Bruel and of course from Jean Reno. Special effects are mediocre, and some goofs can be easily found but don't let that spoil your fun :-)
