Plot.
Threatened from prison for a $100 million fraud at the expense of several small savers, Vincent Lemieux flees to the North where he is waiting for an airplane that will lead him to the Bahamas. Equipped with a digital camera, he records his testimony for his two beloved girls, to whom he tries, here to justify his gesture, there to explain to them the b.a-ba of finance. Learning, once returned to his first drop point, that the pilot will arrive only the next day, Vincent leaves to hunt the lagopede, a Nordic bird. But in wanting to recover one of his catches, he slips into a slope. While breaking a path in the snow to go back to the road, the fraudster continues his dialogue with his daughters, to whom he also tells the fabulous adventures of his alter ego, the "P'tit Sicotte".
