Les Apaches

Apaches

Summer in the extreme south of Corsica: while thousands of tourists invade the beaches, camping grounds and clubs, five teenagers from Porto Vecchio hang out. One evening, one of them leads the others to an unoccupied luxury villa, where they party all night long. Before the group leaves, they steal some objects of no value and two precious antique shotguns. When the house owners arrive back from Paris, they complain about the theft to a small local crmininal they know, which leads to a series of disastrous and tragic events.
