La Chevre

This movie I watched in French II was both funny and had a good story.

Ten years ago the daughter, Maire Bens, of a high corporate french man, Monsieur Bens, had terrible luck. Not all at once but through out her entire life she was unlucky. When she arrived in Mexico, two people snatched her purse and knocked her down. When she was knocked down, she hit her head and lost her memory. A man drove by, a criminal, took her in and on a plane ride to Costa Rica.

Ten years later, still trying to search for her, Monsieur Compana had no luck finding her. One day M. Bens advisory had an idea he offered the idea of having an equally unlucky person go on the case. The unlucky man was M. Purrin. All of his life he was also unlucky. When he was young, he almost died to a wasp sting, accidentaly burned his parent's house down, and many many more. Although, M. Purrin was appointed to be in charge on this investigation. M. Bens advisory's theory was that if the girl had been unlucky, then she would have led a path of unluckiness that M. Purrin would repeat. Once at the airport M. Purrin bumps into the automatic doors which didn't open for him. The infermery said that it never done that before. Due to being in the infermery, they miss their flight to Mexico so they take a transfer flight from Costa Rica to Mexico.

On the plane, M. Purrin keeps on saying how every time he's been on a plane, there's some sort of trouble that occurs like some engine trouble or that the flaps didn't open on time. Luckily, this time they did. When landing in Costa Rica, M. Purrin bumped himself on the automatic doors again which the authorities said happened to a girl some time ago, Marie Bens. Instead of going to Mexico, they stay at Costa Rica to find some clues. After being at a dead end M. Purrin gets robbed of $5000 which M. Compana has to help get back they find the robber at a poker club where they find Marie Bens kidnapper also. They interrogate him and find out that she's been nothing but trouble to him so he gave to another man at the poker club.

Once he finishes, a group of shooters shoots the kidnapper and the police thinks that M. Compana and Purrin killed him. Once let out of jail, they find out that Marie was sent on a plane to a rainforest island off of Costa Rica which crashed. Nobody knows where she is or if she's alive. The advisor has an idea to put M. Purrin on a plane and circle the island for it to crash where Marie may be close by. While on the plane, M. Purrin gets stung by a wasp and starts bloating up. Once at the hospital, they find a man who was tramatized after a girl, Marie, set his village on fire. They set off to where his village was and find the remains. No clues. Once they set off again, M. Purrin gets taken by a gorilla but then the vine it swings on breaks and then runs off. Monsieur Purrin and Compana then set off. While travleing, M. Purrin gets hurt and they went to find a nearby hospital. At the hospital, they find someone else there...Marie Bens.

The End
