Desperate\, he unknowingly finds refuge at the house of Bishop Bienvenu\, who lives simply\, with his sister and a single servant.

One day he learns that the famous travel guide Le Routard pays its employees to travel the world. Surely the perfect free holiday! Smooth-talking his way through the door\, Yann manages to get himself hired for a trial research trip to Morocco\, but he rapidly comes to realise that he’s seriously underestimated the job… Beguiled by Sofia\, a feisty tourist guide\, Yann gets swept up in an art trafficking operation led by the infamous mobster art dealer Dr Charoux and is plunged into an adventure where nothing will go as planned! \n30 May\, 4.45pm; 4 June\, 12.00pm; 6 June\, 6.30pm; 7 June\, 10.00am – The French Job (M – coarse language)\, 1hr 34 mins\, Drama) – Jonathan\, an expert in luxury watches\, leads a grey and monotonous life until he meets Eric\, a charming conman and dealer in stolen goods.

In 2010\, the trio committed one of the most daring robberies in history – they stole five masterpieces by Picasso\, Matisse and Modigliani from the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. \n31 May\, 4.30pm; 1 June\, 10.00am; 5 June\, 6.30pm; 9 June\, 10.00am – Nun in the City (PG – mild violence and coarse language)\, 1hr 26 mins\, Comedy) – Sister Lucie\, a dedicated nun\, decides to flee her convent after 20 years to find her love of youth.

She whisks Benjamin\, her childhood friend\, off on a road trip to Spain to explore their sensuality in a brothel. Now here they are\, onboard a rundown van driven by Lucas\, a burly chauffeur freshly released from jail. Contrary to Mélanie\, Benjamin does not seem in any hurry to arrive. Indeed\, he does everything he can to prolong this improbable journey with his good friend.
