Part crime thriller, part romantic comedy, Louis Garrel's The Innocent shows the dangerous and outlandish lengths two men go to for the women they love. Garrel stars as Abel, an aquarium educator whose mother, Sylvie, marries one of her drama pupils in the local penitentiary, Michel. Once on parole, Michel attempts to start a legitimate life but soon reverts to his old ways, eventually roping Abel into one of his schemes. Complicating matters is Clm?ence, Abel's brazen coworker, who convinces him to take part in the heist.
