Storyline

Pericles works for a Belgium-based Mafia boss. During one of his many jobs, he commits a grave error that offends another powerful Mafia boss, forcing him to go on the run to Calais. A woman provides refuge, leading to a relationship that gradually develops into a love affair. This gives Pericles an opportunity to come of age and finally discover his own identity through rejection of the rules of his environment.
