Remi and Valentina are two angels who love each other for 2000 years. Old Balthazar does not let them meet in Paradise, so they meet in Paris. She is a Spanish rock star who gets assassinated. He works in the funeral home to which she is brought. One touch of Remi and she comes back to life, only to die again because she can't live in his absence.

Plot

I appreciate Bigard as an funny artist and now that I have watched his movie, I understand why he has lost all his fortune making it! It's so bad, so empty that no reasonable people would want to participate or watch it: unlike his shows that are so funny and acute with human nature, here the plot makes absolutely no sense: Sure it overflows of good feelings (the power of eternal love) but the final product is just this unlikely couple always running and hiding around Paris as fugitives, pursued by Italian criminals, police and clergy! It's a huge disappointment, not funny or thrilling, without even a small quantum of originality. I really wonder why nobody told him that during the production or if he really believed that it would break down walls? The fact remains that this movie is just beyond redemption forever!!!
