A hired killer’s hotel-room mission is derailed when he takes responsibility for a suicidal neighbor.
The story
A hired killer is waiting in a hotel room overlooking the Nice courthouse, where a key witness in a corruption trial is expected to appear. Next door, François Pignon, a press photographer neglected by his wife after she left him for a renowned neurologist, attempts suicide by hanging from the bathroom pipes, causing a flood. The killer persuades the hotel porter not to call the police and promises to watch over Pignon to prevent another attempt. As he tries to keep the depressed man safe, he becomes entangled in Pignon’s personal troubles, putting his own assignment at risk.
