Plot: Remi is an illegal immigrant scraping a living and sleeping rough in a cold northern city far from his home. He has retained his dignity though, turning down work he considers questionable, even when suggested by likable young fellow-immigrant Inzo. When Remi learns that there have been floods in his homeland he is frantic to contact the young daughter he had to leave behind. He uses the little cash he has made posting fliers for a kebab shop to buy a phone card and contact his best friend back home, Lito. Almost overwhelmed with emotion, Remi learns that his daughter is safe but he is now desperate to get home and will consider anything to make the money he needs. Turned down for work by the local 'ganger' because of his height, Inzo unexpectedly comes to his rescue.

Plot: A small town in rural Australia (Paris) makes its living by causing car accidents and salvaging any valuables from the wrecks. Into this town come brothers Arthur and George. George is killed when the Parisians cause their car to crash, but Arthur survives and is brought into the community as an orderly at the hospital. But Paris is not problem free. Not only do the Parisians have to be careful of outsiders (such as insurance investigators), but they also have to cope with the young people of the town who are dissatisfied with the status quo.
