Stuntwoman
A movie about a good-for-nothing stuntman called Mike Gaucher who can't do one single job without something going wrong.

Supposedly a fearless stuntman, Ferrari turns out to be afraid of heights once his feet leave the ground. So a stuntman is needed to prevent a scandal. And who is the man who looks most (or exactly) like Bruno? You guessed it, good-for-nothing Mike.
