Plots(1)
French-Canadian ex-con Dennis schemes to buy his estranged daughter a new piano by selling Christmas trees on the streets of New York City with handsome lothario Rene, whose latest conquest was Dennis' wife... Two French Canadians travel to New York City during the holiday season with a get-rich-quick scheme of selling Christmas trees. Dennis is a no-nonsense, recently released ex-con trying to get his life - and his wife - back. Rene is Dennis's charming, shallow, former partner-in-crime who is now living with Dennis's estranged wife. Feeling guilty and knowing Dennis needs a job, Rene reluctantly agrees to make Dennis a partner in the scheme. Though the two former friends struggle with each other and an eclectic array of tough New York customers, they discover much about themselves in the process. (HBO Europe)
