- Shouldn't we go back? - Yes.

- If I stop, we'll get stuck.

- We need to find a better place.

- We won't get out of here.

- So what should I do?

You're slipping. Let it be!

Alex is stuck.

- What to do? - No questions.

Stop, we're going down the slope.

Please!

Sh*t!

Come on!

So that you won't get stuck too. Push!

Come on, on solid ground. Right.

- So much for the shortcut.

- How could I know?

- Jovall is also stuck. - Damn mess.

I'm not stuck,

it just makes no sense to drive on.

O my children, what an adventure...

- How far to the next backwater?

- No idea.

Who got the crazy idea

to take this route?

- This rain drives you crazy.

- I can't believe it.

- Nice place here.

- Why did we leave the freeway?

Stop arguing now!

- Let's push! - Everybody out,

we try to pull it out of the mud.

What shall I do?

Get out of the rain.

Over there there's a cabin.

Beastly weather.

Stop, stop!

- You look shitty.

- We have to do something.

- Couldn't we use bricks?

- Let's find them on a building site.

- Let's start

with Alex's car. - You're right.

We can use all of them.

Here, take this.

- Real tight under the wheel.

- You think I'm stupid?

- Give way to papa. - Put it here.

- This one too? - Yes.

- No, too dirty. - Start.

- Car is stuck. - Right.

- Perhaps tow it out. - Let's try.

Well, let's not give up hope.

- Careful! Take my coat.

- No thanks, I'm OK.

I think we are saved!

- What can we do?

- Nothing. Get help.

- Walking? - Yes.

I got it, I'm on my way.

Well Roger? Are you coming?

Come on, Roger.

Hey,

we could use a bottle for the road!

- In my trunk.

- With a drink we're OK.

- Great idea. - Was my idea.

You're making an old man happy.

- A drum. - Let's start a fire.

- Our provisions, Roger.

A flashlight.

Good trip!

- Keep distance.

- Throw it in.

My dears,

this time it's a Trojan feast.

- Come on, give!

- Can't you make a decision?

- That's how to do it.

- Rubbish, let him play.

- My turn. - I'll start.

- The game goes on.

Yesterday there was

a mass collision on the freeway.

- Are you OK? - Yes.

A camper hit a truck,

whose trailer

got on the opposite lane.

38 cars ran into the accident.

One car caught fire.

The accident caused big delays.

The road was

unblocked only after 4 hours.

In Paris the body

of a man was discovered today.

Run over by a truck.

Police says it was Reynald Manecca.

Manecca

was involved in a building scandal.

He'd have been

condemned to 5 years prison.

He was the victim

of a hit and run driver.

The weather report...

- There they are at last.

- Now we'll get home.

Manecca is dead. It was on the radio.

An accident.

Do you have chains with you?

- Come closer. - Stop!
