La Chèvre (1981)

In the heart of Mexico, a dynamic yet peculiar rescue mission is set into motion when a French magnate's extraordinarily jinxed daughter mysteriously vanishes. The initial investigation led by seasoned detective Campana hits a brick wall, leaving him with nothing but dust trails and unanswered questions. Back in Paris, the corporate psychologist of the tycoon's company conjures an eccentric yet potentially brilliant scheme. He proposes the deployment of someone who matches the missing girl's uncanny knack for misfortune, in the hope that their shared bad luck will inadvertently lead them to each other. Enter Francois Perrin, a man whose own life is a symphony of mishaps and accidents. Despite Campana's initial skepticism and his unwillingness to believe in the concept of bad luck, he finds himself reluctantly partnered with the calamity-prone Perrin. Together, they embark on a wildly unpredictable journey back to Mexico, their mission: to pick up the girl's elusive trail. "La Chèvre" is a comedic whirlwind of unforeseen circumstances and serendipitous misadventures, where the line between insanity and genius blurs, and where bad luck might just be the unlikely hero. Set against the colorful backdrop of Mexico, this tale of an unconventional rescue will have you questioning if there's such a thing as too much coincidence, or if it's all just part of fate's twisted sense of humor.

La Chèvre is an adventure movie featuring Gérard Depardieu and directed by Francis Veber.
