Grigris is about a 25-year-old man who, despite having a paralyzed leg, has
hopes of becoming a professional dancer. He makes some extra cash putting his
moves to good use on the dance floor of his local club every weekend.
His dreams are tested when his step-father falls critically ill and he's forced
to risk his future by smuggling oil to pay the hospital bills. When he
befriends Mimi, a beautiful but damaged prostitute, the two will try to start a
new life together. But as bad decisions begin to catch up with them, they'll
have to run for their lives. Their pasts, however, are never far behind,
bringing them to a perilous climax.
