About the film - Les Mauvais Joueurs - 20 April 2005 (France) - Vahé, Sahak, and Toros run a bonneteau game on the streets of Paris. They're Lebanese (of Armenian descent) French. Vahé also works with his father, a cloth merchant, and is in love with Lu Ann, Chinese French, who's broken off their affair. Vahé wants to make things right: with Lu Ann, with his father's business, and with Yuen, Lu Ann's younger brother, who's on the edge of delinquency and owes money to the gang who arranged his passage from China. Vahé tries to be like a father to Yuen, teaching him a work ethic. When Yuen impetuosity puts his own life in jeopardy, Vahé tries to save him. Are Vahé's impulses and hopes to die on the streets of Paris? Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}
