François Cluzet, Bouli Lanners.

A true story. 11.6 is the number of millions of euros taken by truck driver, Toni Muselin. He worked for a security firm transporting cash and payrolls. He was a very ordinary citizen, who worked for the company 10 years. He was married and his wife ran a restaurant. His main friend was a co-driver.

The screenplay shows his grudges against the boss, made to work on public holidays, refusing him time to go to a funeral. He also spends his money on luxury car which he enjoys driving.

One day, the men get out of the truck leaving Toni alone, and he makes a decision to drive away with the cash, hiding it in a storage room, riding off on a motorbike – but, to what purpose except the getting of revenge on his boss. He then gives himself up to the police and serves a jail sentence.
