What Is Umbrella Coup About?
The premise of Umbrella Coup without spoilers.
Grégoire Lecomte, a down‑on‑his‑luck actor seeking a “real job,” goes to a screen test for a killer role and unintentionally meets mobsters. Mistaking their don for a producer, he is taken for the hitman they expect. He signs a contract to assassinate arms dealer Otto Krampe at a Saint‑Tropez birthday party with an umbrella‑cap containing a cyanide syringe, unaware the job is a real murder.
